Senate Okays Merit System For Employes
The Senate backed a merit based civil service system for state employees in a 21 to 11 party line vote, sending the bill to the House. An amendment set the measure to take effect 90 days after passage, while a July 1 start was defeated. Critics warned it could be risky and hastily drafted, while supporters noted parallel civil service moves in other agencies. The bill would include the State Police but exclude liquor store staff and some road commission workers, with broader exemptions for executive mansion staff and other state personnel.
