SB 521: Public employment: disqualification.

The bill aims to expand the disqualification period for public employees convicted of certain felonies. A public employee will be disqualified from any public employment for 5 years if they are convicted of a felony involving accepting or giving a bribe, embezzlement, extortion, theft, perjury, or conspiracy related to their official duties. Additionally, this bill disqualifies city managers or city attorneys, including those working under contract, from equivalent roles if they are convicted of these felonies. The bill applies to all cities, including charter cities, as it addresses a matter of statewide concern.
