                                                                                  SUMMARY OF INTRODUCED BILL

                                                                                                         IN COMMITTEE

Senate Bill 328 (as introduced 5-12-15)

Sponsor:  Senator Tonya Schuitmaker

Committee:  Judiciary

Date Completed:  5-15-15

CONTENT

The bill would amend Public Act 59 of 1935, which provides for the creation and organization of the Michigan State Police, to create the officer grades of inspector and recruit.

The Act identifies the grades and duties of State Police officers as "colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, sergeant, trooper, and policewoman". The bill would create the officer grade "inspector", between captain and lieutenant, and the grade "recruit", after trooper.

The bill also would delete reference to the officer grade of "policewoman".
