HB 1432 - This act requires that a hearing be held within 60 days from the date that a public employee was placed on administrative leave to determine if the employee engaged in alleged misconduct. Any hearing may be continued for good cause, but shall in no event be continued beyond 180 days from the date the employee was placed on administrative leave.

The act further requires that such employee be advised in writing within seven days of being placed on administrative leave, the reason or reasons for being placed on administrative leave. Such documents shall not be subject to the sunshine law.

This act is substantially similar to SB 982 (2016) and HCS/HB 519 (2015) and similar to SB 504 (2015) as well as a provision within HCS/SB 109 (2015).
