A bill for an act relating to prohibitions and requirements for state entities concerning certain actions of appointed officers of the executive branch, and making penalties applicable.

Summary

The bill changes the definition of “state employee” to also cover officials appointed to the executive branch, as well as staff of the General Assembly and the state board of regents. This extension means those officers gain the same protection from retaliation when they report illegal or dangerous conduct, and they must be told about these rules when hired. Violating the protections is a simple misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a fine.
