Honorable Robert Bunda

Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1786, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EXEMPT EMPLOYEES,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this bill is to allow employees who have been in civil service exempt positions for eight or more consecutive years to apply for intra-departmental and inter-departmental transfers and intra-departmental and inter-departmental promotional examinations for which they otherwise meet the minimum qualifications. In addition, this bill would restrict the total number of exempt positions to an unspecified percentage of full-time civil servant positions.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the time period, from eight to six consecutive years, during which an employee in a civil service exempt position must satisfactorily perform work to apply for intra- and inter-departmental transfer or promotional examination;
(2) Deleting a provision that capped the number of civil service exempt positions to a percentage of full-time civil service positions;
(3) Inserting an effective date of July 1, 2004, and a repeal date of July 1, 2006; and
(4) Making various technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1786, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1786, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
