MI HB4176

Amends the Michigan Wage and Fringe Benefits Act to allow law enforcement agencies to collect reimbursement from officers who voluntarily leave employment within a specified timeframe after completing training academy.

Establishes a tiered reimbursement schedule based on when an officer leaves: 100% of training costs (capped at first-year salary) if leaving within 1 year, 75% if leaving between 1-2 years, 50% if leaving between 2-3 years, and 25% if leaving between 3-4 years.

Requires signed agreements between law enforcement agencies and employees, entered into on or after the effective date, to enforce reimbursement obligations.

Maintains existing exceptions to the ban on employer-collected fees, including those for licensed employment agencies and optional education repayment agreements.

Effective immediately upon enactment, contingent on Senate Bill 32 of the 102nd Legislature being enacted into law.
