Law enforcement: other; identifier to track licensure status; provide for. Amends sec. 11 of 1965 PA 203 (MCL 28.611).

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards to assign a unique identifier to every individual who holds or applies for a law enforcement license, allowing them to track their licensure status throughout their career. It also mandates that applicants for specific training academies submit fingerprints for criminal history checks, which will be stored in state and federal automated systems to automatically flag any future criminal records. The legislation further establishes a dedicated training fund to cover the costs of screening, testing, and licensing, ensuring these expenses are reimbursed through fees charged to applicants and licensees.
