The House Judiciary Committee advanced measures sponsored by Representative Mueller addressing law-enforcement definitions and sentencing. Rep. Wozniak moved and the committee adopted an H-1 substitute to House Bill 5079 to add Michigan State Police motor carrier officers and private security guards hired by the state to protect state-owned or -leased property under MCL 28.6c to the definition of 'peace officer.' The clerk announced the substitute was adopted by roll call (11 ayes, 0 nays as recorded).

Rep. Johnson moved to report House Bill 5080 (sentencing-guidelines changes tied to the related policy package); the clerk announced the motion prevailed (11 ayes, 0 nays). The committee had previously reported HB5079 as substitute H-1 with recommendation. No extended public debate on the substantive policy was recorded in the committee transcript; the actions were handled by roll-call motions and reporting to the full House.

Committee records show both measures were forwarded with committee recommendations; specific implementation details, fiscal impacts, or subsequent amendments were not discussed at length during the hearing.
