On October 13, 2007, the Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act was signed into law, giving California firefighters many of the same rights as peace officers, and more. A clear explanation of who's covered and the extent of that coverage; how a disciplinary investigation is started and what to expect concerning interrogation, privacy, discipline, administrative appeals, remedies; and more. The guide includes the text of the Act as well as pertinent provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act applicable to appeals. Since cases decided under the PSOPBRA are likely to influence how the courts interpret the FBOR, a chapter provides a synopsis of major court decisions under that act. Differences between the two laws are highlighted. the Guide is designed for firefighters of all ranks and for their employee organizations and employers in the State of California, and any city, county, municipal corporation, public district, or public authority that provides firefighting, police, ambulance, medical, or other emergency services. -- from the publisher.
