Establishes the "Firefighters' Procedural Bill of Rights Act"

HB 2332 creates the "Firefighters' Procedural Bill of Rights Act" in Missouri, establishing specific procedural protections for firefighters during investigations that could lead to disciplinary action. The bill requires that interrogations (formal questioning about misconduct) occur during work hours (with compensation for off-duty time if needed), that firefighters be informed of the investigation's nature and the identity of the interrogator, and that only two interrogators be present. It also explicitly protects firefighters' rights to engage in political activities while on duty or in uniform and to seek election to local governing boards like school districts. This law applies directly to all full-time or part-time firefighters employed by Missouri fire departments, fire districts, or emergency services agencies.
