AZ HB2348

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 38-1106 regarding disciplinary appeals for law enforcement officers.

Requires employers to provide law enforcement officers with complete investigative files and witness information within 14 calendar days of a written request, and mandates both parties exchange witness lists and documents at least 14 days before the appeal hearing.

Prohibits dissemination of disclosed information to persons other than appeal parties and their representatives, with violations resulting in exclusion of witnesses or evidence unless excusable neglect applies.

Establishes that hearing decisions by a hearing officer, administrative law judge, or appeals board shall be the final administrative determination subject to judicial review for clear error, removing language that previously allowed employers to amend or modify decisions without restriction.

Requires employers to provide transcripts to law enforcement officers within 10 calendar days of receipt and allows either party to request a change of hearing officer or administrative law judge within 10 days of appointment, with first requests automatically granted in certain circumstances.
