MI HB4119

Amend MCL 423.507 to require corrections agencies to delete disciplinary reports, letters of reprimand, and other disciplinary records for corrections officers that are more than 2 years old, rather than the standard 4-year requirement for other employers.

Expand MCL 423.509 to allow corrections agencies to release investigative information to prospective employing corrections agencies regarding reasons for and circumstances surrounding a separation of service, similar to existing law enforcement officer provisions.

Clarify that if a corrections officer is involved in an investigation by a criminal justice agency and the investigation reveals unfounded or unsubstantiated allegations, or if no disciplinary action is taken, the separate investigative file must contain a notation of the final disposition and cannot be used in future promotion, transfer, or disciplinary considerations.

Bill takes effect only if Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 4118 is enacted into law.
