In re Apportionment of State Legislature—1982

412 Mich. 1109

Opinions

On order of the Court, the petition for submission of proposed apportionment plans for the Michigan Legislature and the response thereto are considered. Mich Const 1963, art 4, § 6 provides for consideration by this Court of a "proposed plan” submitted by a "member of the commission, individually or jointly with other members” "if a majority of the commission cannot agree on a plan”. No "proposed plan” has been submitted nor have we received official notice from the commission that a majority of the commission cannot agree on a plan. Accordingly, the relief prayed for in the petition and in the response thereto is denied.
