Governor Rick Snyder has signed legislation to ease the job search for veterans with military police experience.

House Bill 5590, sponsored by state Representative Joe Graves, allows veterans' experience as military police to meet the experience criterion for licensure as a private security guard. The bill is now Public Act 419 of 2012.

Snyder said he's "pleased we are finding another avenue for our veterans to succeed in the private sector."
