Bill > HB2062

This bill amends the existing law to expand the list of personnel in the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) who are exempt from the state's civil service requirements. The bill exempts the secretary, the secretary's executive assistant, the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff, assistant secretaries, deputy assistant secretaries, senior directors, division directors, assistant and deputy division directors, regional administrators, district managers, and executive officers and superintendents of institutions, as well as their executive assistants, from the civil service provisions. This change provides the DSHS with more flexibility in hiring and managing these key personnel.
