SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Firefighter or emergency medical services personnel interrogation; observer. Allows firefighters or emergency medical services personnel subjected to an interrogation that could lead to dismissal, demotion, or suspension for punitive reason to have a retired member of the department present as an observer. Current law allows only current members of the department to be present. The bill changes the term "current" to "active" to clarify members' status as active or retired.
