Law enforcement: employment; licensing requirements under the Michigan commission on law enforcement standards act; update. Amends secs. 9, 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d & 11 of 1965 PA 203 (MCL 28.609 et seq.).

This bill updates Michigan's licensing requirements for law enforcement officers by clarifying the standards and procedures agencies must follow to hire and license personnel. It mandates that agencies verify an officer's compliance with specific criteria, such as training, physical ability, psychological fitness, and background checks, before the officer takes their oath of office. Additionally, the legislation requires agencies to submit written documentation to the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards within ten days of administering the oath to confirm these standards have been met. These changes apply to all law enforcement officers not covered under the specialized sections for college-trained or experienced officers, ensuring a consistent verification process across the state.
