Bill > S1292

This bill requires all state agencies and institutions in Massachusetts to submit all employment opportunities, job notices, new positions, and vacancies to the state's human resources division (HRD), with a few specific exceptions. The HRD must then immediately enter these job postings into the statewide employment computerized referral system. The bill specifically excludes positions covered by certain existing laws related to civil service, public employees, and labor relations (sections 46D of chapter 30, chapter 31, and chapter 150E). The legislation mandates that no state job position can be filled unless the agency fully complies with this new reporting requirement, which aims to create a centralized and transparent job posting process for state employment opportunities. By requiring all agencies to transmit job postings to a single system, the bill seeks to improve accessibility and visibility of state job opportunities for potential applicants.
