Bill Summary

This bill prohibits remote work for State employees. Under current law, the Civil Service Commission is required to adopt rules for States employees' hours of work. The Model Telework Pilot Program was approved and established by the Civil Service Commission in April of 2022, and offered the option for State employees to work remotely up to two working days per week. This bill will prohibit the commission from establishing rules that permit remote work for State employees.

AI Summary

This bill, by amending existing law concerning State employees' hours of work, prohibits remote work for State employees in the career, senior executive, and unclassified services. Previously, the Civil Service Commission, which is responsible for establishing rules for State employees' work hours, had implemented a Model Telework Pilot Program in April 2022, allowing some employees to work remotely up to two days per week. This legislation explicitly forbids the commission from creating any rules that permit State employees to work remotely, effectively ending the possibility of telework for these groups.
