Bill > SB1510

This bill requires the Arizona Department of Administration to collect and report more detailed information about state employee positions and vacancies. Specifically, the bill mandates that each budget unit (which includes most state agencies except universities and community colleges) submit an annual report by October 1st detailing the number of full-time equivalent positions and total salaries, broken down by retirement system, employee tier, and fund source. Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement that budget units must list all full-time equivalent positions that have been vacant for at least 150 days. Furthermore, the bill requires budget units to automatically eliminate positions that remain vacant for more than 150 days and adjust their allocated full-time equivalent positions accordingly. The legislation aims to increase transparency about state workforce composition and reduce potential inefficiencies by requiring agencies to actively manage and report on their vacant positions. Notably, some agencies like the State Department of Corrections and Department of Public Safety are exempted from the vacancy elimination requirement.
