This bill establishes the Local Correctional Officers Discipline Procedures Act in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 641. The key provisions of the bill include defining terms like "correctional officer" and "exclusive representative," outlining procedures for taking formal statements from correctional officers during disciplinary investigations, such as the location, notice requirements, and the rights of the officer to have a union representative or attorney present. The bill also prohibits certain employer actions like requiring disclosure of personal financial records or publicly releasing officer photographs without permission, and prohibits retaliation against officers for exercising the rights provided in the Act. The rights established in the bill are in addition to and do not diminish any other applicable collective bargaining agreements or laws.
