Text

(a) Any public employer that requires an
individual to enter into an employment contract or agreement under
this chapter, must provide a written notice to the individual before
hiring. The notice must contain at least the following information:
(1) A statement that the provisions of this chapter apply.
(2) A statement of the public employer's costs at the time of
hiring, expressed as a dollar amount.
(3) A statement to the effect that if the individual:
(A) voluntarily leaves the public employer; and
(B) is hired by a nonpublic employer;
the contract would require the individual to reimburse the public
employer for the public employer's costs in accordance with
section 9 of this chapter. The reimbursement amount must be
expressed as a dollar amount.
(4) A statement to the effect that if the right of any of the
individual's public employers to make a claim for reimbursement
terminates under IC 5-2-1.5-10(c), the individual is not required
to reimburse any public employer for costs and any employment
contract or agreement for reimbursement is void.
(5) This subdivision applies only to the first public employer. A
statement to the effect that a contract entered into by an individual
is void and unenforceable if the individual does not successfully
complete basic training and is not certified by the law
enforcement training board to act as a law enforcement officer.
(b) The written notice must be signed and acknowledged:
(1) by the individual and the public employer or public employer's
agent; and
(2) on a date before the individual's hire date.
