19-1-607. Documentation and notification of violation -- Remedial action.

(a) After completing the investigation, if the agency determines that there has been a violation of the fiscal responsibility and management laws, the facts and circumstances relating to a violation and any corrective or remedial action taken shall be documented and placed in the personnel files of the public officer or employee involved in the violation.

(b) The agency shall notify the public officer or employee of its findings and any corrective or remedial action to be taken. Notification shall be made in a manner ensuring actual notice to the public officer or employee. The public officer or employee shall be notified that the failure to make corrective or remedial action within thirty (30) days after the date of notification creates the rebuttable presumption that the violation was committed knowingly.

(c) The public officer or employee violating a fiscal responsibility and management law shall be given not more than thirty (30) days after notification to effect corrective or remedial action recommended by the agency. Failure to make corrective or remedial action within thirty (30) days after notification creates the rebuttable presumption that the violation was committed knowingly.
