Creates a system for termination of state employees if they willfully provide false information to a member of the public in the course of their duties
This bill establishes a formal process for terminating state employees who intentionally provide false information to the public while performing their job duties. It requires all government agencies to use a centralized online system for citizens to report suspected misconduct, detailing how complaints are investigated by department directors and potentially reviewed again by the Office of Administration if the complainant disagrees with the initial findings. A confirmed violation of this rule would result in termination and must be reported to the governor, the legislature, and the public, while all related records and an annual summary of findings are made available as public documents.
