This bill introduces a new section to the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) regarding the suspension of state employees. Specifically, it mandates that if a state employee is suspended with pay, they must receive written notice detailing the reasons for their suspension within seven days of the suspension date. Additionally, the bill requires that the suspended employee be provided with periodic updates on the status of the investigation every 90 days until a final decision is reached.

The new legal language added to RSA 21-I includes the insertion of section 21-I:42-a, which outlines these notice and update requirements. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill. The act is set to take effect 90 days after its passage.
