Bill > HB1870

This bill amends the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act to specifically address time sheet requirements for faculty and certain employees at public higher education institutions. The bill introduces a new provision that allows state employees of public institutions of higher education who are classified as faculty (both tenure and non-tenure system) and who are not eligible for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act to satisfy time sheet documentation requirements by complying with the terms of their employment contract or agreement. This means these employees can track and document their work time according to their specific institutional contract, rather than being required to submit traditional quarter-hour time sheets like other state employees. The change provides flexibility for academic employees whose work responsibilities and tracking methods may differ from those of other state workers, recognizing the unique nature of academic work and employment arrangements. The bill is effective immediately and aims to streamline administrative processes for faculty members at public higher education institutions while maintaining accountability for work time documentation.
