SB 335 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Law enforcement: training; duty to intervene policy; require law enforcement agencies to adopt. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 341'25

SB 335 requires all Michigan law enforcement agencies to adopt written "duty to intervene" policies within 12 months of the bill's effective date. These policies must mandate officers to stop or prevent excessive force by colleagues and report such incidents to a supervisor. The bill directly affects law enforcement agencies and their officers, making policy violations grounds for disciplinary action. It also allows agencies to use a state-created model policy but does not prevent stricter internal policies. The bill's effective date depends on the passage of companion bill SB 341.
