Summary

Rights of public employees to contact public officials. Provides that nothing in the Virginia Personnel Act or Chapter 12 (§ 2.2-1200 et seq.) of Title 2.2 shall be construed to prohibit or otherwise restrict the right of any state employee to express opinions to state or local public officials or officers on matters of public concern, nor shall a state employee be subject to acts of retaliation because the employee has expressed such opinions. The bill also provides the same protections for local employees. The bill defines matters of public concern.
