AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to the employment conditions and collective bargaining rights of deputy sheriffs and correctional deputies in Washington County, Maryland. Specifically, it alters the grounds for which a deputy sheriff may be discharged after 2 years of continuous employment, allowing for dismissal only for "police misconduct" rather than for broader reasons. The bill also authorizes sworn deputy sheriffs and correctional deputies at the rank of sergeant and below to engage in collective bargaining with the Sheriff and County Administrator regarding wages and benefits, though it prohibits them from striking. The bill provides a process for certifying an exclusive representative labor organization to represent these employees in collective bargaining.
