MS SB2775
Bill
AI Summary
- Authorizes state agency heads, with Department of Finance and Administration approval, to transfer budget allotments between major expenditure categories through June 30, 2010, provided corresponding decreases offset any increases
- Prohibits state agencies from awarding salary increases through reallocation, reclassification, or other means during fiscal year 2010, with limited exceptions for replacing departing employees at equivalent salary levels or emergency healthcare hires
- Bars new hires from being paid more than the departing employee whose position they are filling for a period of two years
- Exempts all state agencies subject to State Personnel Board regulations from standard personnel procedures for two years, reclassifying all employees at those agencies as "nonstate service" — effectively removing civil service protections against dismissal during that period
- Requires that when an employee is dismissed or involuntarily terminated under this two-year exemption, the position and its PIN number must be permanently eliminated, and agency heads must consult with the Attorney General's office before taking such personnel actions to ensure compliance with state and federal law
