The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding remote work for full-time state employees. Under the new provisions, A. A full-time employee of this state may not work remotely, with the exception that supervisors may allow employees who are sick to work remotely. Additionally, B. Each state agency shall require a full-time employee to perform the employee's assigned duties at the state agency's office during the employee's REGULARLY SCHEDULED work hours. Employees whose duties necessitate site visits or inspections would be exempt from this requirement, provided they perform their duties at the location of the visit or inspection during their scheduled hours. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that C. Virtual meetings and conference calls do not constitute remote work pursuant to this section. The existing language in the current statute remains unchanged, ensuring that the core structure of the law is preserved while introducing these specific updates to remote work policies for state employees.
