Currently, each cabinet secretary may appoint an executive assistant outside the classified service of the state civil service system to perform duties prescribed by the secretary. This bill eliminates this power and instead authorizes each secretary to appoint an assistant deputy secretary outside the classified service of the state civil service system to perform duties prescribed by the secretary.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
