Sen. Darrin Camilleri

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Michigan's environmental laws to impose stricter limits on the location and capacity of hazardous waste disposal facilities. It requires the state to update its waste management plan every five years, ensuring that new facilities are not concentrated in already polluted communities and that the total licensed capacity matches the state's actual waste generation needs. Additionally, the legislation specifically prohibits the acceptance of a type of radioactive waste known as TENORM at designated disposal sites. These changes aim to improve geographic distribution and prevent overloading specific areas with waste treatment infrastructure.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows individuals and government agencies in Michigan to select the specific type, dosage, and delivery method of free naloxone provided by the state's Department of Health and Human Services. The law applies only when the department distributes these overdose reversal drugs at no cost to help reduce opioid-related overdoses. While it grants recipients the choice of formulation and administration route, it includes a provision to maintain federal funding eligibility if those choices would jeopardize state grants.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes the Reporting of Law Enforcement Officer Misconduct Privacy Act to protect the identities of individuals who file complaints against police officers for unauthorized, unlawful, or negligent actions. It mandates that agencies and other entities receiving these complaints must not reveal the complainant's name unless the individual explicitly consents, a court orders it, or specific legal exceptions apply, such as when criminal charges are filed. The law also sets a civil fine of up to $500 for anyone who knowingly violates these privacy protections.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies Michigan's existing law regarding the separation of service records for law enforcement officers. It requires agencies to create detailed records explaining the reasons and circumstances surrounding an officer's departure, including any active disciplinary investigations from the previous year. The law mandates that these records be finalized within five days of separation and allows officers to review, dispute, or request corrections to the information provided. Additionally, the bill establishes a process for officers to submit written statements if they disagree with the agency's assessment, ensuring their perspective is included in the official record.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates Michigan's employee right to know law to clarify how law enforcement agencies handle personnel records and internal investigations. It requires employers to delete disciplinary reports older than four years from public records, except when the information is needed for legal cases, arbitration, job separation reviews, or licensing compliance. Additionally, the bill mandates that employers maintain separate confidential files for internal criminal investigations, notifying employees once these files are created or completed. If an investigation concludes without disciplinary action, the file must be destroyed unless it is shared with another law enforcement agency or the state commission for specific licensing purposes.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies the definition of an "involuntary statement" for law enforcement officers in Michigan, specifically regarding when such statements must be disclosed. It clarifies that a statement is considered involuntary only if an officer is forced to provide information under threat of losing their job or facing other employment sanctions. The legislation also updates the list of who counts as a law enforcement officer to include emergency dispatch workers and local corrections officers. These changes affect state agencies and local law enforcement entities by altering the rules on when officers must reveal certain information. The bill takes effect 90 days after it is signed into law.

Maddy summaryThis 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.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes changes to Michigan's sentencing guidelines specifically for law enforcement officers who commit tampering with evidence offenses. It directly affects police and other criminal justice personnel by updating the rules used to determine their potential prison sentences for these crimes. The legislation amends an existing section of the state's code of criminal procedure to reflect these new sentencing standards. By modifying the legal framework for punishment, the bill aims to ensure consistent and appropriate sentencing for officers involved in evidence tampering cases.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Michigan's penal code to create specific criminal penalties for law enforcement officers who tamper with evidence, particularly digital recordings from body-worn cameras. It prohibits officers from intentionally removing, altering, or destroying evidence, as well as from failing or deactivating their body cameras during the use of excessive force. The legislation also strengthens protections against retaliation for individuals reporting crimes and clarifies that offering or threatening to offer value to influence witness statements is illegal. Violations by officers are classified as felonies or misdemeanors depending on the severity of the act, with potential prison sentences and fines. The bill includes exceptions for lawful attorney conduct and ensures that officers can still be charged with other crimes related to the same incident.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires railroad companies in Michigan to operate freight trains with a crew of at least two people. The rule applies to all freight trains but includes specific exceptions for locomotives used in helper service, which assists trains with mechanical issues or steep grades, and hostler service, which moves trains short distances within a yard. Additionally, the requirement does not apply if a federal law or regulation already mandates a crew of two or more for freight trains in the state. By adding this section to the existing railroad code, the legislation establishes a clear minimum staffing standard for freight operations while acknowledging current federal standards and specialized operational scenarios.
