S.B. 114: COMMITTEE SUMMARY - EXPEDITED PPO HEARING FOR POLICE

Senate Bill 114 (as introduced 2-4-97)

Date Completed: 2-13-97

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Revised Judicature Act to provide that, if the respondent in a motion to modify or rescind an ex parte domestic violence or stalking personal protection order (PPO) were a "law enforcement officer" and the PPO prohibited the officer from purchasing or possessing a firearm, the court would have to schedule a hearing on the motion within five days after its filing. The Act currently requires that a court schedule a hearing on a motion to modify or rescind an ex parte PPO within 14 days after the filing of the motion.

"Law enforcement officer" would mean a person who was regularly employed as a member of a duly authorized police agency or other organization of the United States, Michigan, or a Michigan city, county, township, or village and who was responsible for the prevention and detection of crime and the enforcement of Michigan's general criminal laws.
