The 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." It allows 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 pursuing individuals who have violated state laws, local ordinances, or administrative rules. The bill also introduces a new provision that allows law enforcement officers of qualified authorities to pursue individuals outside their boundaries under similar conditions.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "qualified authority" and specifies that the geographic boundaries of a qualified authority include those of any contracting county, city, village, or township for services like water and waste management. The amendments also include the addition of new definitions for "public airport authority" and "qualified authority" to ensure clarity in the law. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
