The bill amends the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act by updating the requirements for individuals seeking licensure under specific sections. It mandates that applicants complete active violence response training, which focuses on coordinated tactical responses to incidents involving intentional physical harm or death using various weapons. The commission is tasked with establishing minimum standards for this training. Additionally, the bill specifies that licensed individuals must also complete this training.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that prohibits individuals from becoming licensed under section 9 if they were previously employed by certain federal agencies, including the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, or Citizenship and Immigration Services, during a specified timeframe between September 1, 2025, and January 20, 2029. This aims to ensure that individuals with specific past employment do not gain licensure in law enforcement roles in Michigan.
