Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


It is projected that the addition of the employees of the Regional Jail and Correctional Authority to the classified service would have no significant impact on the costs and revenues of state government. Currently the Regional Jail and Correctional Authority (RJA) pays the statutorily-authorized Division of Personnel fee for personnel services provided by the Division of Personnel. This fee covers the full range of personnel administration services provided by the Division of Personnel. Currently, these personnel services include conducting examinations of applicants for employment, referring successful applicants to the RJA for consideration for employment, maintaining a classification and compensation plan for positions used in the RJA (including the allocation of positions), providing training courses for employees of the RJA, maintaining an electronic data base of employees of the RJA, assisting the RJA in matters of discipline and grievances, and generally providing personnel administration oversight for the Regional Jail and Correctional Authority. The single significant service that would be added as a result of the addition of the employees to the classified service is the routine auditing of personnel transactions for compliance with our rule relating to merit system (i.e., "civil service") standards. The benefits of employees of the Regional Jail and Correctional Authority generally would not change as a result of their addition to the classified service. A cursory review of the current pay for employees of the Regional Jail and Correctional Authority indicates that minimal, if any, changes would result from their addition to the classified service.
