Law enforcement: other; disclosures by law enforcement officers act; modify definition of involuntary statement. Amends sec. 1 of 2006 PA 563 (MCL 15.391).
This bill modifies the definition of an "involuntary statement" within Michigan's existing law regarding disclosures by law enforcement officers. It clarifies that such statements are those compelled by a threat of job loss or other employment sanctions, while explicitly excluding information given knowingly and intentionally that is false or misleading. The legislation also updates the definitions of "law enforcement agency" and "law enforcement officer" to include specific groups like emergency dispatch workers and local corrections officers. These changes apply to a wide range of public safety entities, including state police, local police departments, and university security forces. The new definitions will take effect 90 days after the bill is signed into law.
