Bill > HB1150

This bill requires public employers to notify employees within 5 business days when a written complaint is received against them, with specific provisions about the content and limits of disclosure. The bill defines a "complaint" as a written allegation of misconduct or law/policy violation, and mandates that employers provide written notice to the employee about the complaint's receipt. However, the bill also establishes several exceptions where full disclosure might be limited, such as when revealing the complaint could violate privacy laws, compromise safety, interfere with investigations, or involve sensitive matters like sexual harassment. If full disclosure is not possible under these exceptions, the employer must still notify the employee about the complaint's general nature and explain why complete details cannot be shared. The department of labor is authorized to enforce these requirements and impose civil fines on employers who fail to comply with the notification rules. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving employers time to adjust their complaint-handling procedures to meet the new requirements.
