Senate Bill 527 amends the Government Code to create a new subchapter relating to polygraph examinations for peace officers. The act prohibits, with exceptions, a peace officer from being suspended, discharged, or subjected to any other form of employment discrimination by the officer's employer because the officer refuses to take a polygraph examination as part of an internal investigation.
