SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Law-Enforcement Officers Procedural Guarantee Act.  Provides that an officer must be given reasonable notice before being questioned in an administrative investigation as long as the notice will not jeopardize the investigation or public safety. The bill also provides that if any procedural guarantees are intentionally denied an officer during the investigative process or if the allegation is determined to be unfounded, the information derived may not be used or considered in imposing any disciplinary action against him.  However, evidence of misconduct other than that originally alleged may be used in a disciplinary action.
