New Law Cuts Exempt State Jobs Amid Patronage Debate
Senate Minority Leader Picacho sponsors a reform reducing exempt positions in state government under the Personnel Act to about 200, excluding heads of agencies and policy staff. The measure narrows exemptions, requires qualifying exams for many, and creates two grandfathered loops for short-term appointees. Emergency hires remain allowed from a qualified applicant list, with pay set at established rates.
