The bill amends the existing law regarding the use and disclosure of statements made by law enforcement officers, specifically focusing on the definition of "involuntary statement." It establishes that an involuntary statement is any information provided by a law enforcement officer that is compelled under the threat of dismissal or other employment sanctions from their agency. Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of "law enforcement agency" and "law enforcement officer," expanding the latter to include emergency dispatch workers and introducing the term "qualified authority" as defined in existing legislation.

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision stating that it will not take effect unless certain other legislative bills are enacted into law. This ensures that the amendments are contingent upon the passage of related legislation, thereby linking the changes to broader reforms within the legal framework governing law enforcement practices in Michigan.
