Bill > S0437

This bill amends South Carolina state law to create an exemption from certain employment provisions for specific categories of government employees. Specifically, the bill exempts employees who work in high-level positions within constitutional officers' offices (such as the Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General) and management employees who directly report to agency heads in various state departments (including Corrections, Health and Human Services, Revenue, and Social Services). These exempted employees would be free from the regulations outlined in Article 5, Chapter 17, Title 8 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which likely pertains to standard personnel administrative rules. The exemption applies to employees who either report directly to a constitutional officer or agency head, or who report to someone who directly reports to such an officer or head. The bill will take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, potentially providing these specified employees with more flexibility in their employment terms and conditions.
