The proposed bill establishes a "violent crime clearance act" aimed at improving the clearance rates of violent crimes in Michigan. It creates a violent crime clearance grant program within the Department of State Police, allowing law enforcement agencies to apply for grants to enhance their capabilities in investigating violent crimes. The bill defines key terms such as "clearance by arrest," "clearance by exception," and "clearance rate," and outlines the eligible uses for grant funds, which include hiring personnel, acquiring technology, and ensuring compliance with reporting requirements.

Additionally, the bill mandates that law enforcement agencies receiving grants submit annual reports detailing their progress, including clearance rates and personnel changes. The Department of State Police is tasked with evaluating successful practices and reporting on the grant program's performance biennially. A violent crime clearance rate grant fund is created within the state treasury to manage the financial aspects of the program, with specific provisions for administrative costs and the distribution of funds to ensure equitable support across various law enforcement agencies in the state.
