"State Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights."
This bill establishes specific rights and procedures for State law enforcement officers (excluding State Police) facing investigations or disciplinary actions. It requires 24-hour notice before questioning, guarantees the right to counsel during investigations, and mandates that all questioning be recorded in full. The bill sets strict time limits for investigations (15 days for complaints from citizens/inmates) and disciplinary hearings (10-30 days after complaint is served), and ensures officers found not guilty receive back pay and reinstatement within 30 days. It also prohibits lie detector tests and requires that disciplinary findings not be placed in an officer's personnel file if they're found not guilty.
