SB 5080: St gvrnmnt hiring freeze

Imposing a hiring freeze within state government.

Summary

  • A two-year state hiring freeze is created whereby state agencies are prohibited from hiring replacements for employees who leave the agency, regardless of the reason an employee left. The freeze only affects cabinet-level agencies within the executive branch and thus excludes agencies headed by a statewide elected official.
