HB 1221 -- State Employees

Sponsor:  Seigfreid

This bill allows state employees the right to discuss agency
operations with the Attorney General or any state official or
body charged with investigating any alleged misconduct by a state
agency.  Under current law, state employees only have a right to
discuss operations with members of the General Assembly and the
State Auditor.

The bill also allows a state employee who alleges that
disciplinary action was taken against them because the employee
reported prohibited activity, violation of law, or waste by the
agency to bring civil action for damages within 90 days after the
occurrence of the alleged violation.  The bill outlines the
procedure for bringing the civil action.  Harassment of the
employee by the agency is also prohibited.
