Bill > HB611

This bill amends Mississippi law to ensure that law enforcement officers facing potential disciplinary actions from the Mississippi Board on Law Enforcement Standards and Training, such as reprimand, suspension, cancellation, or recall of their certification, are granted the right to discovery during the board's hearing process. Discovery refers to the legal process where parties in a lawsuit or administrative proceeding can obtain evidence from each other, similar to what is outlined in the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure. The bill also brings forward Section 99-39-15 of the Mississippi Code, which pertains to requests for discovery, for potential amendment, reinforcing the procedural rights of officers in these situations.
