HB 1203 Comptroller; recovery of improper payments to state employees.
Introduced by: Mitchell Van Yahres | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Comptroller; recovery of improper payments to state employees. Provides a mechanism for an employer to recover any payment or compensation paid to a state officer or employee to which he was not entitled and which he has failed or refused to return. The bill allows the employer, if liability is admitted, to offset the amount wrongly paid against any payment or compensation due the officer or employee while he remains in state service. However, if the officer or employee leaves state service, liability is disputed or recovery cannot be accomplished, the employer may request the Attorney General to bring an action for restitution. The bill authorizes the court to award costs and reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party. The bill clarifies that it does not apply to VRS benefits.
