Law enforcement: records; reference to the law enforcement officer separation of service record act; update. Amends secs. 7 & 9 of 1978 PA 397 (MCL 423.507 & 423.509).

This bill updates Michigan's employee right to know laws to clarify how law enforcement agencies must handle personnel records and internal investigations. It requires employers to delete disciplinary reports older than four years from public records, with specific exceptions for legal proceedings, separations of service, and licensing reviews. Additionally, the bill mandates that employers maintain separate confidential files for criminal investigations, notifying employees of the investigation's outcome and destroying the file if no disciplinary action is taken. For criminal justice agencies, the law ensures that investigations resulting in no action or unfounded allegations cannot negatively impact an employee's future career opportunities.
