On order of the Court, notice of proposed new Rule 3.929 and an opportunity for comment in writing and at a public hearing having been provided, and consideration having been given to the comments received, new Rule 3.929 of the Michigan Court Rules is adopted, effective January 1, 2007.

Rule 3.929 Use of Facsimile Communication Equipment The parties may file records, as defined in MCR 3.903(A)(24), by the use of facsimile communication equipment. Filing of records by the use of facsimile communication equipment in juvenile proceedings is governed by MCR 2.406. Staff Comment: New Rule 3.929 states that filing records by facsimile communication equipment is allowed in juvenile proceedings. MCR 3.903(A)(24) defines the term "records," and MCR 2.406 governs the filing of records by facsimile communication equipment.
The staff comment is not an authoritative construction by the Court.
