Administrative Laws in Michigan.

Michigan's APA governs rulemaking and contested cases. Rulemaking requires notice, public hearing, fiscal impact statement, and JCAR review. Contested cases use prehearing, hearing, proposed decision, and final agency decision steps.

Final agency decisions are appealable to circuit court. Standard: whether the decision is authorized by law and supported by competent, material, and substantial evidence on the whole record.

Consolidated administrative hearings functions for most state agencies. MOAHR administers contested-case dockets including license discipline, unemployment, and civil rights.
