  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the complaint for mandamus is considered and, pursuant to
  MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting relief on the complaint, we DIRECT the Clerk to
  schedule oral argument on August 30, 2012, at 2:00 p.m., on whether to grant relief 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.
                           August 28, 2012                     _________________________________________
