What it does

This bill relates to employment protections for state employees who are veterans. The bill defines “aggravated misconduct” as repeated misconduct a person knows will likely cause harm but the person, after being given a warning and reasonable opportunity to correct the person’s actions, willfully continues the conduct, or an act with readily apparent, serious, and harmful consequences that would deter a reasonable person in similar circumstances from committing that act. The bill defines “removal authority” as an official of an entity that determines whether or not to remove a veteran at a pre-removal hearing.
