Bill > HB2253

This bill amends Arizona law concerning disciplinary actions for law enforcement officers by adding provisions that prohibit retaliatory action against employees who provide testimony in proceedings related to disciplinary appeals, and it also clarifies that agencies, employers, or political subdivisions cannot prohibit or obstruct employees, including subject matter experts, from testifying in administrative or judicial proceedings concerning such appeals. The bill also makes administrative evidentiary hearings open to the public, with limited exceptions for executive sessions, and clarifies that a law enforcement officer who prevails in an appeal where a termination is reversed shall be awarded retroactive compensation, with specific conditions under which this compensation may be reduced.
