Bill > S2410

This bill establishes a maximum workday of eight hours for peace officers, as defined in § 12-7-21, with correctional officer stewards having a ten-hour maximum, and prohibits employers from requiring them to work beyond these limits except in unforeseeable emergent circumstances like riots or disturbances, provided the employer has made reasonable efforts to find volunteers or available staff and is not using overtime to cover chronic short staffing. If an employer violates these provisions, they must pay the affected employee double time and a half their normal salary, and these rules do not override any existing or future rights established in collective bargaining agreements.
