§ 674.405. Administrative discipline.

In addition to any other penalty that may be imposed under this Part or by any other law, the members of the emergency preparedness organization are subject to administrative discipline, as follows:

(a)

Volunteer and auxiliary emergency preparedness personnel, not public employees, may be suspended for any definite length of time, reassigned to another position in the emergency preparedness organization, required to undergo additional or intensive training and instruction (in addition to that generally required of all emergency preparedness personnel), delayed in or denied advancement within the emergency preparedness organization, or dismissed from the emergency preparedness organization (with or without disqualification to become a member of the emergency preparedness organization at a future time). The emergency preparedness plan proposed by the Planning Council shall contain provisions and procedures for the imposition, review and implementation of administrative discipline upon the persons subject to this subsection, including adequate due process in the imposition of administrative discipline and review of decisions by an impartial administrative body or bodies.

(b)

Public employees shall be administratively disciplined in the same manner as they may be administratively disciplined for violations of personnel rules or other employment rules applicable to the public employees, and for this purpose the provisions of the emergency preparedness plan concerning assignment and reassignment to positions in the emergency preparedness organization, advancement within the emergency preparedness organization, training and experience requirements and dismissal from the emergency preparedness organization shall be deemed to be employment rules of the appointing authority under which the public employee usually works. When the emergency preparedness organization is activated pursuant to Section 674.203(d), and so long as the activation continues, the provisions and procedures contained in the emergency preparedness plan for the imposition, review and implementation of administrative discipline shall supersede any other provisions and procedures for this purpose, wherever contained or by whatever other board, body or person administered.
