HB 2409 - DIGEST

Finds that citizens, through their government, are frequently unable to collect reimbursement from officers and employees who receive compensation while on paid leave while being investigated for and ultimately convicted of criminal conduct.

Finds that this inability is an unjust drain on public resources and facilitates the avoidance of responsibility by those who engage in criminal conduct. The purpose of this act is to enable public entities on behalf of the citizens to obtain reimbursement from those officers and employees.
