AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Florida law on the rights of law enforcement officers and correctional officers. It requires that agencies provide written notice to officers within 180 days of receiving an allegation of misconduct before taking any disciplinary action, suspension, demotion, or dismissal. If an agency fails to provide the proper notice, the officer can appeal the disciplinary action administratively or in court. The bill also allows officers to challenge an agency's intentional failure to comply with the requirements of this law, and it establishes a compliance review panel process to determine if a violation occurred. If a violation is found, the investigating officer can be removed from the case and face potential disciplinary action.
