The Correctional and Forensic Employees Investigation Procedure Act establishes guidelines and procedures for the investigation and interrogation of correctional and forensic employees by the Department of Corrections or the Department of Human Services. The bill outlines the rights of employees during such investigations, including the requirement for interrogations to be conducted in specific locations, the obligation to inform employees of the nature of the investigation, and the right to legal representation. It also prohibits coercive tactics such as threats or promises of rewards, mandates that interrogations be recorded, and protects employees from adverse actions for exercising their rights under the act.

Additionally, the bill addresses the impact of collective bargaining agreements, stating that if there is a conflict between an agreement and the rights provided by this act, the agreement will take precedence. It also outlines procedures for suspensions pending investigation, ensuring that such suspensions are with pay and benefits unless specific conditions related to criminal proceedings are met. The act aims to enhance the protections and rights of correctional and forensic employees while maintaining compliance with existing labor agreements.
