Bill > HB1109

This bill establishes new notification requirements for state employees who are suspended with pay, mandating that agencies provide written notice explaining the reasons for suspension within 7 days of the suspension date and offer periodic updates every 90 days regarding the investigation's status until a final decision is reached. The legislation specifically excludes employees covered by collective bargaining agreements from these requirements and will take effect 90 days after its passage. By creating these notice and communication standards, the bill aims to increase transparency and provide suspended state employees with more information about the investigative process, ensuring they are kept informed about the reasons for and progress of their suspension while maintaining the employer's ability to conduct thorough workplace investigations.
