HB 6121 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Law enforcement: other; individuals filing complaints against law enforcement; allow to remain private. Creates new act.

This bill establishes the Reporting of Law Enforcement Officer Misconduct Privacy Act to protect the confidentiality of individuals who file complaints against law enforcement officers in Michigan. It generally prohibits government agencies, attorneys, and other authorized bodies from disclosing the identity of a complainant without their consent, except in specific situations such as when a court orders it, criminal charges are filed, or an internal investigation requires it. To enforce these protections, the law imposes a civil fine of up to $500 on any person who knowingly reveals a complainant's identity in violation of the act.
