The bill amends the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act by updating the definitions and terms used within the act. Notably, it introduces a new definition for "law enforcement officer," which now includes a category for officers employed by a qualified authority under section 4 of 1955 PA 233. Additionally, the bill clarifies the language regarding the adjudication of guilt, specifying various scenarios that constitute such adjudication, including guilty pleas and verdicts, as well as the context in which these adjudications may occur, such as probation or youthful trainee status.

Furthermore, the bill makes several grammatical adjustments, including changing pronouns from "he or she" to "the individual" and "his or her" to "the director's." These changes aim to enhance clarity and inclusivity in the legal language. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, specifically Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 4352, indicating a coordinated legislative effort to reform law enforcement standards in Michigan.
