Summary

The bill requires the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission to investigate alleged misconduct, meet with the employee, consider mitigating factors, and provide written notice of any disciplinary action and appeal rights before imposing discipline. It limits suspensions to 30 days, sets a 5‑work‑day window for imposing a suspension after knowledge of misconduct, and allows employees to appeal suspensions to the Office of Administrative Hearings, which must issue a final decision. The changes aim to ensure fair treatment and timely resolution of disciplinary matters for commission employees.
