THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 1241. (1) The board of a school district or intermediate

volunteer is currently employed as a law enforcement officer, the
qualified volunteer shall obtain the permission of his or her

agreement may include provisions relating to additional training,
uniforms, or other matters that the board, board of directors, or
governing body considers appropriate. A volunteer shall not spend
more than 9 hours of any week engaged in volunteer activities
pursuant to this section. A board, board of directors, or governing
body may reimburse the qualified volunteer for the cost of a
criminal records check under section 3 of 1935 PA 120, MCL 28.273.
(2) A school district, intermediate school district, public
school academy, state approved nonpublic school, member of the

of the board of directors of a public school academy, member of the
governing body of a state approved nonpublic school, or a qualified
volunteer under this section is not liable in damages in a civil
action for injury, death, or loss to person or property allegedly
arising from the qualified volunteer's performance of services
under this section unless the injury, death, or loss resulted from
the qualified volunteer's reckless or wanton conduct.

individual who is on the list maintained by the Michigan state
