Bill > HF2474

This bill establishes a Local Correctional Officers Discipline Procedures Act in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 641. The key provisions include defining terms such as "correctional officer," "exclusive representative," and "formal statement"; outlining procedures for taking formal statements from correctional officers, including requirements around the location, complaint filing, witness lists, recording, and presence of a union representative; prohibiting employers from requiring officers to disclose personal financial records or publicly release their photographs without permission; and preventing disciplinary actions as retaliation for exercising the rights provided in the bill. The rights established in the bill are in addition to, and do not diminish, any other rights and privileges provided under a collective bargaining agreement or other applicable law.
