Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the appointment and reappointment of certain public safety officers. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to modify the provisions related to the appointment and reappointment of full-time police officers and/or firefighters who are not subject to the civil service system. It specifies that the initial appointment shall be for a one-year probationary period, during which the officer can be removed without recourse. Subsequent appointments after the initial year can be made annually or for up to three years, and the appointing authority can remove the officer for "just cause" and after a hearing. For officers covered by collective bargaining agreements, the non-reappointment of an officer after the initial year is considered a discharge or removal, and the standards and procedures in the collective bargaining agreement would apply.
