State employment
Current law provides generally that no individual may be employed or retained in a full-time position or capacity with a state agency or authority and hold another position or be retained in any other capacity with an agency or authority from which the individual receives compensation of more than $12,000 during the same year. This bill clarifies that year means any 12-month period and exempts licensed health care professionals from this dual employment restriction, provided that they are employed or retained in the other position for less than 1,040 hours during any 12-month period.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
