The bill amends the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act by updating the structure and membership of the commission. It establishes that the commission is transferred to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and specifies that the attorney general and the director of the state police will appoint designated representatives to the commission. Additionally, the bill outlines the process for appointing members nominated by various law enforcement and public organizations, ensuring a diverse representation on the commission.

Key changes include the expiration of terms for current members appointed before January 2, 2017, and the requirement for the governor to appoint new members by April 2, 2017. The bill also clarifies that members must be affiliated with the organizations that nominated them and specifies that appointments will expire on December 31 of the year they are set to end. Furthermore, it mandates that any vacancies occurring outside of term expirations must be filled by the governor in the same manner as the original appointment.
