Official description
The purpose of this bill is to streamline and simplify the state hiring system of the Division of Personnel. The bill terminates the State Personnel Board, defines the role of the director and the Division of Personnel, transfers to the Division all State Personnel Board responsibilities, eliminate Division of Personnel exemptions for the Department of Transportation, State Tax Division, and Bureau of Social Services, transferring new hires and promoted employees within the Department of Transportation into the classified-exempt system and exempting these employees from the grievance board. This bill right-sizes state government and refocuses the Division of Personnel to broadly categorize employees, provide training to our agencies, and to act as an advocate for attracting and retaining employees.
