Summary

The bill adds procedural safeguards for classified civil‑service police officers, mandating notice, a written response period, and a hearing before they can be suspended for more than two days, demoted, discharged, or transferred to lower‑pay positions. It also creates appeal routes to the civil service commission and municipal appeal boards, and bars discipline based on politics, religion, or changes in elected leadership.
