Bill > A02633

This bill directs the president of the state civil service commission to conduct a comprehensive study on job vacancies across state agencies to identify understaffing issues. The study will examine the number of full-time and part-time positions budgeted for in each agency, track how many of those positions remain vacant, and determine how long those positions have been unfilled. Additionally, the study will include recommendations on how the state can better market and inform the public about job opportunities. The president of the civil service commission is authorized to collaborate with other state departments and agencies to gather necessary resources and data. Within one year of the bill's effective date, the president must produce a public report detailing the study's findings, which will be published online and shared with the governor, senate president, and assembly speaker. The bill aims to provide a detailed overview of staffing challenges across state agencies and suggest potential solutions for recruitment and filling vacant positions.
