Utah HB0153 amends law enforcement officer employment procedures, ensuring specific protections and appeal rights.

Utah HB0153 amends the law to ensure that law enforcement officers in the classified civil service receive specific protections and appeal rights before their employment can be significantly impacted. The bill mandates that law enforcement officers must be notified of allegations of wrongdoing and given an opportunity to respond before any disciplinary action, such as suspension for more than two days, demotion, or removal from employment, is taken. It also requires that the employing agency consider the officer's written reply and provide a hearing.
