  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The application for leave to appeal the August 27, 2012 judgment and order of the Court
  of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to
  appeal, we DIRECT the Clerk to schedule oral argument on August 30, 2012, at 2:00
  p.m., on whether to grant the application or take other peremptory action. At oral
  argument the parties shall include among the issues addressed whether the republication
  requirement of Const 1963, art 12, § 2 and MCL 168.482(3), requiring that petitions set
  forth any other existing provisions of the constitution that would be altered or abrogated
  by the proposed amendment, has been satisfied.




                           I, Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                     foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
