A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5987 AS INTRODUCED 7-1-98

The bill would amend the LEIN Policy Council Act to expand the situations under which access to law enforcement information network (LEIN) would be allowed. The policy council is currently required to establish and promulgate rules regarding the operational procedures for use of the LEIN. The policy and rules are required to ensure access to locator information by state and federal agencies and the friend of the court for enforcement of child support programs in accordance with state and federal law. In addition to the existing requirements for access, the bill would require that access be granted to a state or county employee engaged in the enforcement of Michigan's child protection laws or rules with regard to the assaultive, violent, or dangerous behavior of an individual who the employee was investigating.
