Modifies provisions relating to civilian review boards
HB 2237 establishes detailed procedures for administrative investigations of law enforcement officers that could lead to disciplinary action, economic loss, or other employment consequences. It requires agencies to provide officers with written notice of investigations 24 hours in advance, allow attorney presence during questioning, explain Garrity rights (that answers can't be used criminally), and complete investigations within 90 days (with limited 60-day extensions). The bill directly affects law enforcement officers facing disciplinary reviews by guaranteeing specific procedural rights, including access to complaint details, reasonable interview durations, and a full due process hearing for suspensions or terminations. Key provisions include confidentiality for complaint filers, restrictions on off-duty questioning, and requirements for agencies to maintain complete, confidential records of investigations. The title mentioning "civilian review boards" is inaccurate; the bill focuses solely on internal administrative investigation procedures for officers.
