A bill to amend 1976 PA 442, entitled “Freedom of information act,” by amending section 13 (MCL 15.243), as amended by 2021 PA 33.
The bill seeks to make certain law enforcement disciplinary personnel records subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Specifically, it clarifies that the release of law enforcement disciplinary records does not constitute an unwarranted invasion of an individual's privacy and thus should not be exempt from disclosure under the act. This legislation is part of efforts to increase transparency and accountability within law enforcement agencies by ensuring that disciplinary records are accessible to the public.
