HB0146

Study of State Human Resource Positions

Last scannedOct 19, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This bill proposed a study by the Department of Administration and Information to examine how human resource jobs are classified and supervised in the state executive branch.

What it does

  • Requires the Department of Administration and Information to study the classification of human resource employees in the state executive branch.
  • Directs the study to look at ways to increase the independence and professional credentials of human resource officers.
  • Asks the study to consider making all human resource positions permanent instead of at-will.
  • Requires the study to estimate costs and timelines for any changes to job positions.
  • Requires the study to consider federal rules for jobs in programs that receive federal funding.
  • Requires the study results to be presented to specific legislative committees by September 1, 2014.

Who it affects

  • The Department of Administration and Information, which must conduct the study.
  • Human resource employees in state executive branch agencies.
  • The joint corporations, elections and political subdivisions interim committee and the joint appropriations interim committee, which must review the results.

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill did not pass in the 2014 session, so the study was not required by law.
  • The bill text is a working draft, so final details may have changed during the legislative process.
  • The bill does not specify exactly which agencies are excluded from the definition of 'agency' beyond those listed in a specific state statute.
