RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 294 (SB 128) 2024 Regular Session Miller
Existing law provides for the creation of housing authorities.
Existing law provides that, except as provided in the Constitution, and as may otherwise be
authorized by the State Civil Service Commission, all employees of the housing authority,
except authority members, the executive director, and one other employee whom the
authority shall designate and employ, and except professional employees employed on a
contract basis, shall be in the classified state civil service.
New law retains existing law but provides that a housing authority may, upon determining
that it should not be considered to be an instrumentality of the state for purposes of the
Constitution, and employees of such authority shall not be included in the state civil service,
adopt a resolution to that effect and transmit a certified copy of that resolution by certified
mail to the director of the Department of State Civil Service.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
