HB 155 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes the "Firefighters' Procedural Bill of Rights Act"

HB 155 establishes procedural protections for firefighters during investigations that could lead to disciplinary action. It requires employers to follow specific rules during interrogations, including notifying firefighters of their rights, allowing representation, providing reasonable breaks, and recording sessions. The bill prohibits coercion, threats of punishment, or sharing personal information with media without consent. It directly affects all firefighters (including volunteers) employed by state or local fire departments, ensuring fair process before actions like demotion, suspension, or dismissal.
