Local correctional officers provision in Peace Officers Discipline Procedures Act

SF 2422 amends Minnesota's Peace Officers Discipline Procedures Act to explicitly include local correctional officers under the law's disciplinary framework. The bill defines "correctional officer" as someone working in a security capacity at a local correctional or detention facility, and clarifies that "officer" includes these staff members. This change ensures local correctional facilities and their employees are covered by the same disciplinary procedures that apply to other peace officers. The bill directly affects local jails and detention centers that employ correctional staff, bringing their disciplinary processes under the standardized state framework.
