HB 250 -- Termination of Law Enforcement Officers

Sponsor:  Johnson (90)

This bill requires law enforcement agencies to provide any
officer who is terminated a written statement of the reason for
the termination with supporting citations from the agency's
policies and procedures.  Terminated officers may also request a
hearing before the agency's hearing or grievance committee, and
the results of the hearings will be written and distributed to
all parties involved.  Previous law excluded officers employed by
the state, elected sheriffs or deputies, and the highest ranking
officer of an agency and applied not only to terminations but
demotions or suspensions that resulted in a reduction or
withholding of compensation.
