§ 126A-6-3.  Fraudulent disclosure or concealment on application.

(a) Any employee who knowingly and willfully (i) discloses false or misleading information, (ii) conceals dishonorable military service, or (iii) conceals prior employment history or other requested information significantly related to job responsibilities on an application or any document supplementing an application may be subject to disciplinary action, including immediate dismissal from employment. An employing agency shall dismiss an employee who discloses false or misleading information to meet the minimum qualifications for the position classification. Applications and any screen allowing an applicant to attach supplemental materials shall include a statement informing applicants of the consequences of fraudulent disclosure or concealment.

(b) Each agency shall verify the credentials and the accuracy of application materials of each new employee within 90 days of employment. Failure to verify the application does not bar disciplinary action taken under subsection (a) of this section.  (2026-40, s. 1.)
