Re-creates the Department of State Civil Service and the statutory entities made a part of the department by law. (6/30/18)

Impact

The re-creation of the Department of State Civil Service is critical to maintaining a structured approach to public service within Louisiana. This bill also sets a deadline for the dissolution of current authority structures to make way for this re-creation. The effect is intended to streamline operations while retaining essential services that ensure fair employment practices and accountability in government sectors. As a result, it anticipates preventing gaps in civil service provisions during the transition period.

Summary

Senate Bill 142 aims to re-create the Department of State Civil Service in Louisiana, along with the statutory entities associated with it under state law. The bill establishes provisions for the effective termination date of all statutory authority concerning these entities, ensuring continuity as they approach their sunset. This legislative action underscores the ongoing necessity for the Department in its role within the state's public sector framework, designed to uphold civil service standards and efficiency across governmental operations.

Sentiment

Overall, the sentiment surrounding SB142 appears to be positive, as it reflects a commitment to reinforcing an integral part of the state's governance system. Legislative discussions indicate broad support, evidenced by the unanimous passing of the bill in the House with a vote of 92 to 0. This indicates that legislators recognize the importance of maintaining the Department's functions for the benefit of the state's civil service landscape.

Contention

While the bill was passed without opposition, discussions revealed a general awareness of the challenges that could arise in the future. Notably, there are considerations about potential conflicts with existing civil service regulations and the implications of the defined termination authority. Ensuring that the re-creation process does not lead to unnecessary redundancies or bureaucratic hurdles is fundamental, making continued oversight and evaluation important as the bill is implemented in state law.
