HB 1704 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to civilian review boards

HB 1704 establishes new rules to protect law enforcement officers during administrative investigations or questioning that could lead to disciplinary action or financial loss. The bill requires agencies to provide written notice of allegations at least 24 hours before interviews, allow officers to have an attorney present, and ensure questioning occurs at secure work locations during duty hours. It also mandates that investigations be completed within 90 days, with limited extensions available for good cause, and guarantees officers the right to a full due process hearing if they face suspension, demotion, or termination. Additionally, the legislation clarifies definitions for terms like "color of law" and "economic loss" to ensure these protections apply broadly across various law enforcement settings.
