MI HB5749

Clarifies that release of law enforcement disciplinary records does not constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy under the Freedom of Information Act.

Defines "law enforcement disciplinary records" as all records created during disciplinary proceedings against law enforcement officers, including complaints, allegations, investigation files, transcripts, findings, and final written opinions on disciplinary actions taken or not taken.

Excludes "technical infractions" (minor rule violations not involving public interaction, unrelated to investigative duties, and not involving deception or dishonesty) from the definition of disciplinary records subject to disclosure.

Expands protections for law enforcement officers' personal information by adding Social Security numbers and email addresses to records that may be withheld if disclosure would endanger officers, their families, or confidential sources.

Defines key terms including "disciplinary proceeding," "law enforcement agency," "law enforcement officer or agent" (including police officers, sheriffs' employees, correctional officers, and Department of Corrections employees), and "technical infraction."
