Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.9109
Notwithstanding the employer status of the county-paid employees serving in the circuit court in the third judicial circuit, or serving in the recorder's court of the city of Detroit, or of the city-paid employees serving in the district court in the thirty-sixth district as of October 1, 1996, as established in sections 593a and 8274, the state may, upon request of the new employer, continue to provide payroll services to those employees. These payroll services may continue for a transition period not to extend beyond January 31, 1997. If the state provides payroll services upon request of an employer, the requesting employer shall reimburse the state for its actual expenses in providing the payroll services. At the discretion of the department of management and budget, these expenses may be offset by payments from the court equity fund and hold harmless fund to which the county of Wayne or the city of Detroit otherwise would be entitled under section 151b.
