Bill > SB0339

This bill revises the Law Enforcement Officer Service Records Act to establish more comprehensive and detailed procedures for documenting law enforcement officers' employment histories and separations. The bill creates two types of records: a separation of service record and a provisional service record. For separated law enforcement officers, former employers must now create a detailed record within 5 business days of an officer's departure, including any disciplinary processes or investigations from the past year. The bill allows officers to review these records and request corrections or disclaimers if they disagree with the content. For officers planning to change jobs, current employers can create a provisional service record that similarly documents recent disciplinary or performance information. The law requires that prospective employers receive these records before hiring, and it provides legal protection for agencies sharing information in good faith. The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards will oversee these processes and can request records to ensure compliance with licensing standards. These changes aim to improve transparency and information sharing in law enforcement employment transitions while providing officers an opportunity to address potentially negative documentation.
