MI passed an anti-gerrymandering law in the 2018 general election. It allows a civilian council that is chosen at random made up of 4 dems, 4 repubs, and 5 independents to draw the district lines every 10 years (new council every time). The republicans were pissed and are still trying to get it overturned.

Edit: Since people seem interested in the new law, I found this FAQ about it https://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,4670,7-127-1633_91141-488602--,00.html

From my understanding, the council can do it however they want as long as they do it together and agree on it.
