Probation Officers Fronted by Bill With Tenure Rules
Strong opposition from existing probation officers frames debate. The bill offers tenure to county probation officers employed a year before the bill becomes effective, while promotions follow eligibility standards. County staff may move to circuit positions if they meet the appropriate standards.
