County commissioners can now adopt policies to investigate misconduct by county employees and officials, covering issues like abuse of authority, conflicts of interest, and neglect of duties. Any investigation policy must include procedures for handling complaints, require at least one outside investigator from a different department, protect confidentiality and due process rights, and follow existing state removal procedures for county officers.
