Bill > HB1147

This bill establishes the "Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act" in Missouri. The key provisions include protecting firefighters' rights during investigations and interrogations, prohibiting punitive actions against firefighters for exercising their rights, setting time limits for investigations, allowing firefighters to inspect and respond to comments in their personnel files, and providing a process for firefighters to seek court relief if their rights are violated. The bill also clarifies that the protections only apply to firefighters during the performance of their official duties and does not limit mutual aid agreements or interagency cooperation.
