      Sec. 614.063.  POLYGRAPH EXAMINATION.  (a)  A peace officer
may not be suspended, discharged, or subjected to any other form of
employment discrimination by the organization employing or
appointing the peace officer because the peace officer refuses to
submit to a polygraph examination as part of an internal
investigation regarding the conduct of the peace officer unless:
            (1)  the complainant submits to and passes a polygraph
examination; or
            (2)  the peace officer is ordered to take an
examination under Subsection (d) or (e).
      (b)  Subsection (a)(1)  does not apply if the complainant is
physically or mentally incapable of being polygraphed.
      (c)  For the purposes of this section, a person passes a
polygraph examination if, in the opinion of the polygraph examiner,
no deception is indicated regarding matters critical to the matter
under investigation. 
      (d)  The head of the law enforcement organization that
employs or appoints a peace officer may require the peace officer
to submit to a polygraph examination under this subsection if:
            (1)  the subject matter of the complaint is confined to
the internal operations of the organization employing or appointing
the peace officer;
            (2)  the complainant is an employee or appointee of the
organization employing or appointing the peace officer; and 
            (3)  the complaint does not appear to be invalid based
on the information available when the polygraph is ordered.
      (e)  The head of the law enforcement organization that
employs or appoints a peace officer may require the peace officer
to submit to a polygraph examination under this subsection if the
head of the law enforcement organization considers the
circumstances to be extraordinary and the head of the law
enforcement organization believes that the integrity of a peace
officer or the law enforcement organization is in question.  The
head of the law enforcement organization shall provide the peace
officer with a written explanation of the nature of the
extraordinary circumstances and how the integrity of a peace
officer or the law enforcement organization is in question.
