discrimination against an employee regarding the employee's compensation, terms, conditions,
location, or privileges of employment because the employee who, in good faith, has
made or intends to make a report that there has been a violation of federal, state,
or local law, regulation, or board policy due to a practice, policy, act or omission
of the board of commissioners, of an employee, or of an entity/person with whom the
county has a business relationship.
No employee exercising supervisory authority shall discharge, threaten, or otherwise
discriminate against an employee regarding the employee's compensation, terms, conditions,

acting on behalf of the employee, reports or is about to report, verbally or in writing,
any violation of federal, state, or local law, regulation or board policy.
No employee exercising supervisory authority shall discharge, threaten, or otherwise

regulation or board policy, or poses a substantial and specific danger to the public
health and safety.
