assistance
of the department of management and budget:
(a)
Annually distribute 60% of the fund to eligible entities
not
including the money in the fund pursuant to section 5(2). An
eligible
entity receiving a distribution under this subdivision
shall
expend the distribution only for the in-service criminal
justice
training of its police officers. An eligible entity that
uses
money received under this subdivision shall maintain detailed
records
of the actual costs associated with the preparation for,
the
administration of, and the actual conducting of the training
program.
Use of money received under this subdivision for the
payment
of unreasonable or duplicative costs, as determined by the
commission,
shall result in the forfeiture of the money received by
the
eligible entity under this subdivision. Money distributed to an
eligible
entity which is not expended in the fiscal year of the
distribution
shall only be expended by the eligible entity for the
in-service
criminal justice training of its police officers in
future
fiscal years. An eligible entity receiving a distribution
pursuant
to this subdivision shall use the entire distribution for
the
in-service criminal justice training of its police officers
within
2 years after receiving the distribution. If the eligible
entity
fails or refuses to use the entire distribution for the in-
service
criminal justice training of its police officers within 2
years
after receiving the distribution, the eligible entity shall
not
be eligible to receive additional distributions pursuant to
this
subdivision until the prior distribution is used for the in-
service
criminal justice training of its police officers. A
distribution
made under this subdivision shall serve as a
supplement
to, and not as a replacement for, the funds budgeted on
October
12, 1982, by an eligible entity for the in-service criminal
justice
training of its police officers. The distribution shall be
made
in 2 semiannual installments on dates determined by the
commission
and shall be expended only for the direct costs of the
in-service
criminal justice training of police officers. The funds
shall
be distributed on a per capita basis to eligible entities
based
upon the number of full-time equated sworn MLEOTC certified
police
officers employed. Each eligible entity shall receive a
minimum
distribution of $500.00. For purposes of this subdivision,
the
number of full-time equated sworn MLEOTC certified police
officers
shall be determined by dividing the total number of paid
work
hours actually worked by sworn MLEOTC certified police
officers
in the eligible entity's fiscal year by 2,080 hours,
rounded
down to the nearest whole number. For each year, the
percentage
of police officers who provide direct police service
receiving
training under this act shall be equal to or greater than
the
percentage of police officers who are in full-time
administrative
positions receiving training under this act.
(b)
Annually distribute through a competitive grant process
the
balance of the fund after making the distributions required in
subdivisions
(a) and (d) and the expenditures required under
section
2(3). In distributing money from the fund, the commission
shall
consider the quality and cost effectiveness of the training
programs
of applicants for funds and the criminal justice needs of
this
state. Money shall not be distributed under this subdivision
to
a professional association. In distributing money from the fund,
the
commission shall attempt to provide equity in funding for
training
programs for prosecutors and assigned criminal defense
counsel.
A state or local agency that uses money received under
this
subdivision shall maintain detailed records of the actual
costs
associated with the preparation for, the administration of,
and
the actual conducting of the training program. Use of money
received
under this subdivision for the payment of unreasonable or
duplicative
costs, as determined by the auditor general or the
commission,
shall result in the forfeiture of the money received by
the
state or local agency under this subdivision. Grants under this
subdivision
shall be distributed only to the following:
(i) State or local agencies for the purpose of
providing in-
service
criminal justice training programs to employees of those
state
or local agencies. A distribution made under this
subparagraph
shall serve as a supplement to, and not as a
replacement
for, the funds budgeted on October 12, 1982, by a state
or
local agency for in-service criminal justice training.
(ii) State or local agencies providing criminal justice
training
to the employees or the contractual service providers of
other
state or local agencies. A distribution made under this
subparagraph
shall be used to enhance and increase, but not
supplant,
the amount of local, federal, and other state funds that,
in
the absence of money from the Michigan justice training fund,
are
available for criminal justice training. As used in this
subparagraph,
"criminal justice training" means training which is
designed
and intended to enhance the direct delivery of criminal
justice
services by employees of state or local agencies; which is
not
required minimum basic training for police officers or initial
training
for other employees; and which is any of the following:

A criminal justice educational program presented by the

by

which
prescribe the procedures by which the commission shall
distribute
money from the fund.
(d)

department
of management and budget to cover the reasonable
expenses
of providing staff services to the commission, and to

the expense of maintaining a register of available criminal
justice
training programs in this state.
(1) The commission shall conduct an annual registration of law
enforcement agencies to verify each agency's roster of full-time
and part-time law enforcement officers, and the number of hours for
which they were compensated for employment as law enforcement
officers in the most recent elapsed calendar year. For purposes of
the law enforcement distribution, the reported hours of
compensation shall be capped at 2,080 hours for any individual
officer.
(2) As part of the annual registration, each law enforcement
agency shall indicate to the commission whether it elects to
receive law enforcement distributions for the current year. An
agency that elects not to receive law enforcement distributions
shall not receive them for the current year but must comply with
all applicable requirements of this act until all previously
received law enforcement distribution funds have been expended or
returned as required in this act.
(3) The commission shall annually distribute 60% of the
Michigan justice training fund for law enforcement distributions,
in 2 semiannual installments, on dates determined by the
commission.
(4) The law enforcement distribution shall be made on a per
full-time equated basis to eligible entities based on the number of
full-time equated law enforcement officers employed. For purposes
of this subsection, the number of full-time equated law enforcement
officers shall be determined by dividing the total number of hours
reported by the eligible entity during the annual registration for
which the eligible entity's full-time and part-time law enforcement
officers were compensated for employment as law enforcement
officers in the most recent elapsed calendar year by 2,080 hours,
rounded down to the nearest whole number greater than or equal to
1.

funds, an eligible entity whose number of full-time equated law
enforcement officers does not support a minimum annual distribution
of $500.00 shall receive a minimum annual distribution of $500.00.
(6) For each year, the percentage of law enforcement officers
who provide direct law enforcement service receiving training under
this act shall be equal to or greater than the percentage of law
enforcement officers who are in full-time administrative positions
receiving training under this act.
