Bill > SB3273

This bill exempts certain positions within the Developmental Disabilities Division of the Department of Health and at the Hawaii State Hospital from civil service requirements, meaning these roles will not be subject to the standard hiring and employment regulations that apply to most government jobs. Specifically, it adds a federal initiatives operations coordinator in the Developmental Disabilities Division and several positions at the Hawaii State Hospital, including five associate administrators, two project managers, one security manager, two security officers, one building manager, and two investigators, to the list of positions exempt from civil service. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Director of Health to appoint two additional associate administrators and two project managers for the Hawaii State Hospital or a secure psychiatric rehabilitation facility, and increases the number of associate administrators that can be appointed for these facilities from three to five, also exempting these roles from civil service.
