Bill > SF2422

This bill modifies Minnesota laws regarding correctional officers' disciplinary procedures by expanding the definition and scope of who is considered a correctional officer. Specifically, the bill adds local correctional and detention facility officers to the definitions in two existing statutes (sections 241.026 and 626.89), which previously only covered state correctional facility officers. The changes broaden the applicability of disciplinary procedures to include local correctional officers, ensuring they are subject to the same administrative hearing and formal statement protocols as state correctional and peace officers. The bill clarifies that these disciplinary procedures apply to local correctional and detention facilities and cover administrative hearings and disciplinary proceedings, but do not extend to criminal investigations against an officer. The modifications aim to create a more comprehensive and uniform approach to handling disciplinary actions for correctional officers across different levels of government facilities in Minnesota.
