HI HB2091

Authorizes public employers (state, county, federal agencies) to petition district courts for temporary restraining orders and injunctions on behalf of public servants experiencing employment-related harassment.

Covers a broad range of public servants including executive branch employees, legislators, state and federal judges (active, formerly active, or retired), and county employees.

Requires the Department of the Attorney General to establish a system for retaining private attorneys to represent public employers pursuing these actions, with appropriated general fund moneys.

Establishes this as a two-year pilot project, effective July 1, 3000, with automatic repeal on June 30, 2028.

Explicitly provides that public employers have no duty to file petitions on behalf of employees and creates no private right of action against the State or officials for decisions regarding these petitions.
