H560 - Public Safety Reform. (SL 2022-58)

Overview: Section 20 of S.L. 2022-58 makes wardens of State adult correctional facilities generally exempt from the State Human Resources Act. Articles 6 and 7 of that Act, dealing with equal employment and compensation opportunity and privacy of State employee personnel records, still apply to prison wardens. Additionally, policies and rules adopted by the State Human Resources Commission under specified statutes also apply to prison wardens. This section became effective July 1, 2022, and applies to persons hired on or after that date.

*Please note that Sec. 19C.1 of S.L. 2022-74 makes a similar change to the same statute.
