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 act defines key terms such as "correctional employee," "forensic employee," and "misconduct," and outlines the rights of employees during interrogations. These rights include being informed of the nature of the investigation, having the right to representation, and ensuring that interrogations are conducted in a fair manner, including provisions for recording the interrogation and prohibiting threats or promises of reward.

Additionally, the act addresses the impact of collective bargaining agreements, stating that if there is a conflict between such agreements and the rights provided under this act, the agreements will take precedence. It also outlines procedures for suspensions pending investigation, ensuring that employees are suspended with pay unless there is just cause for removal. The act mandates that medical benefits continue during suspension and provides for the reinstatement of employees if criminal charges are resolved in their favor. Overall, the act aims to protect the rights of correctional and forensic employees while ensuring accountability within the departments.
