This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating the authority of peace officers to operate outside their usual jurisdiction. It introduces the term "qualified authority" and expands the circumstances under which peace officers from counties, cities, villages, townships, public airport authorities, or universities can exercise their powers beyond their geographical boundaries. Specifically, officers can pursue individuals who have violated state laws, administrative rules, or local ordinances, and they can stop and detain these individuals for enforcement purposes. The bill also clarifies that the geographic boundaries of a qualified authority include those of any contracting county, city, village, or township for specific services.

Additionally, the bill redefines the term "public airport authority" and introduces the definition of "qualified authority" to ensure clarity in the law. The amendments aim to enhance law enforcement collaboration and effectiveness while maintaining the legal framework for peace officers' jurisdictional limits. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation in the Michigan Legislature.
