MI SCR0026

Recognizes that counties, cities, and villages in Michigan have reduced general services due to economic conditions, not reductions in law enforcement services.

Declares that local governments have met the maintenance of effort requirements for secondary road patrol service agreements under MCL § 51.76 and § 51.77.

Allows secondary road patrol agreements to remain valid despite workforce reductions when general service cuts are attributed to economic conditions rather than law enforcement cuts.

Provides presumptive compliance with statutory requirements for municipalities that reduce general services while maintaining law enforcement staffing levels during economic downturns.
