Civil rights: public records; certain law enforcement disciplinary personnel records; require to be subject to freedom of information act requests. Amends sec. 13 of 1976 PA 442 (MCL 15.243).
This bill requires that law enforcement disciplinary personnel records be made available to the public upon request under Michigan's Freedom of Information Act. It achieves this by explicitly removing an exemption that previously allowed agencies to withhold these records as an unwarranted invasion of privacy. Consequently, the legislation ensures that information regarding officer discipline is treated as a public record subject to disclosure, while maintaining other standard protections for sensitive investigative data and personal privacy.
