This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure to expand the authority of peace officers from various jurisdictions, including counties, cities, villages, townships, public airport authorities, and newly defined "qualified authorities." The amendments allow these officers to exercise their powers outside their usual geographical boundaries under specific circumstances, such as when they are working with the Michigan State Police or other local law enforcement, or if they witness a violation of state laws, local ordinances, or civil infractions and immediately pursue the individual outside their jurisdiction. Notably, the bill introduces the term "qualified authority" and clarifies the geographical boundaries relevant to these authorities.

Additionally, the bill specifies that officers may stop and detain individuals outside their jurisdiction for enforcement purposes and outlines the conditions under which this can occur. It also provides a definition for "qualified authority" and clarifies the definition of "public airport authority." The bill includes a provision stating that it will not take effect unless certain other legislative measures are enacted.
