Law enforcementOn Wednesday, April 18, the House passed SB 1212 (law enforcement officers; just cause) by a vote of 55-0. Sponsored by Senator Andy Biggs (R-Gilbert), the bill mandates that the same "just cause" process required for the termination of law enforcement officers be applied to demotions. Language in the bill applying the same process to officer suspensions was stricken by an amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole.The League opposes the measure because it limits the authority of municipalities to discipline problematic officers. The amended bill returns to the Senate, which passed its version of the legislation by a vote of 29-0 on February 9. |
