Bill overview
This bill changes Michigan law to restrict when law enforcement officers can wear masks or disguises while interacting with the public. Generally, officers must wear a uniform, but exceptions are made for using masks to prevent the spread of airborne diseases, protect against airborne toxins during emergencies, or for physical protection. Violations of this rule could result in a fine or up to 90 days in jail. The bill also clarifies definitions related to uniforms and undercover operations.
