The bill amends the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act by updating the definitions and criteria related to law enforcement officers and agencies. It introduces new legal language that clarifies the meaning of "adjudication of guilt," specifying various scenarios under which a judgment or plea may be entered. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of "law enforcement officer" to include a broader range of individuals employed by law enforcement agencies, such as public safety officers from higher education institutions and investigators appointed by the attorney general.

Furthermore, the bill makes several deletions and insertions to refine the language regarding the roles and responsibilities of law enforcement personnel. For instance, it replaces gender-specific pronouns with gender-neutral terms and clarifies the conditions under which certain individuals are considered law enforcement officers. The bill also stipulates that it will not take effect unless related legislation is enacted, ensuring that the changes are part of a broader legislative framework.
