authorize boards of county commissioners to adopt policies for investigating allegations of misconduct of county departments, employees, and officers.

Summary

The bill permits each county’s board of commissioners to create rules that govern how allegations of abuse of authority, chronic absenteeism, conflicts of interest, nepotism, insubordination, neglect of duties, or other misconduct are investigated. The policies must set investigation procedures, name investigators (including at least one from outside the department under review), protect confidentiality and due‑process rights, and follow existing state removal statutes. The goal is to give counties clearer authority to oversee their employees and officers.
