Bill > HB07047

This bill requires state departments, specifically the Departments of Public Health, Children and Families, Mental Health and Addiction Services, Revenue Services, Correction, and Labor, as well as the Technical Education and Career System, to post job advertisements within ten days of a vacancy occurring for positions not appointed by the Governor or a member of the General Assembly. The legislation, which will take effect on July 1, 2025, aims to increase transparency in state job hiring by mandating timely public notification of job openings. Importantly, the bill does not supersede existing collective bargaining agreements that are in effect as of July 1, 2025, meaning these agreements will continue to operate under their current terms until they expire. This provision ensures that the new job posting requirement does not immediately disrupt existing labor contracts in these state departments and educational systems.
