Local Government Employee Whistleblower Protection
The bill sets up a process where an administrative law judge may consider an employee's written complaint of a violation of the prohibition against retaliating for the disclosure of information, but this process is only available if the local government does not object. Otherwise, the employee may bring an action in the appropriate district court of the state alleging a violation of the prohibition.
