head from being employed in his agency. Existing law contains a general exception to allow
the continued employment of an immediate family member of an agency head if the public
employee has been employed in the agency for a period of at least one year prior to the public
employee's immediate family member becoming the agency head. Existing law contains
additional, more specific exceptions.
New law provides an additional exception to allow an immediate family member of a coach
of an athletic program at a public higher education institution to be employed on the staff of
that program and to receive normal promotional advancements.
