  __________________________________

         This cause having been brought to this Court by application for leave to appeal
  prior to decision by the Court of Appeals on the complaint for mandamus, and having
  been argued by counsel and due deliberation having been had thereon, it is ordered that
  relief on the complaint for mandamus is granted. We direct the Board of State
  Canvassers to proceed as necessary to place the proposed constitutional amendment on
  the November 2012 election ballot. Pursuant to MCR 7.317(C)(3), the Clerk is directed
  to issue this judgment order forthwith. No motion for rehearing will be entertained.

                            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.
