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 clarifies the term "adjudication of guilt" to include various legal outcomes such as guilty pleas, verdicts, and specific orders related to sentencing and probation. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of "law enforcement agency" to include entities established through interlocal agreements between cities and transportation authorities, ensuring that these agencies are recognized under state law.
Furthermore, the bill revises the definition of "law enforcement officer" to encompass a broader range of positions, including those employed by tribal law enforcement, various public safety officers, and investigators appointed by the attorney general. It also makes several grammatical changes, such as replacing "he or she" with "that individual" and "person" with "individual" to enhance clarity. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4834.
