Bill > SB0341

This bill updates the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act by modifying licensing requirements and procedures for various types of law enforcement officers, including standard law enforcement officers, sheriffs, tribal law enforcement officers, fire arson investigators, and private college security officers. The bill introduces several key changes: it requires more comprehensive background investigations, mandates reporting of specific legal events (such as criminal charges, protection orders, and firearm restrictions), establishes more detailed procedures for license activation, suspension, and revocation, and adds provisions for continuing professional education. The bill also requires the commission to develop a model duty to intervene policy. Licensing requirements now include more rigorous screening processes, with the commission having expanded authority to grant, suspend, or revoke licenses based on an individual's compliance with standards, criminal history, and professional conduct. Additionally, the bill ties its implementation to the passage of two related Senate Bills (SB 334 and SB 335), meaning it will only take effect if those companion bills are also enacted into law.
