Bill > S08611

This bill authorizes municipal and/or authority-owned or operated airports to hire and promote employees on a permanent basis for certain critical airport management and supervisory positions, such as airport director, aviation finance director, and aviation security operations. Normally, these positions would require a civil service eligible list, but this bill allows the airports to appoint or promote qualified individuals to the exempt class for these roles even if no eligible list is available. The bill aims to provide airports with more flexibility in staffing these key positions.
