HB 5705 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Law enforcement: local police; reimbursement from state police for assisting with certain incidents; allow. Creates new act.

This bill allows local police departments in Michigan to request reimbursement from the state police for expenses incurred when responding to incidents on state-owned freeways and highways. The reimbursement is only available if the state police did not have officers available to respond, explicitly requested the local agency to respond, and the local department created an official report of the incident. Local agencies must submit reimbursement requests quarterly, and the state police director will set annual reimbursement rates and report on the number of reimbursed responses by county and local government type.
