This bill updates the training and certification requirements for correctional officers in Michigan, directly affecting state employees working in correctional facilities. It mandates that individuals must obtain a high school diploma or equivalent, complete a vocational certificate program or related coursework, and finish a supervised internship and 320 hours of new employee training to be certified. Additionally, the legislation establishes a process for annual recertification, which includes specific provisions for current employees who were hired before the new standards took effect.
