The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 220, mandates a study on the fiscal impacts and performance of state employees working remotely. It requires the Labor Commissioner, in collaboration with the Office of Policy and Management, to assess various aspects of remote work, including employee productivity and the quality of services provided. The findings from this study are to be compiled into a report and submitted to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees labor and public employee matters.

This bill introduces new legal language that emphasizes the need for a comprehensive evaluation of remote work among state employees, focusing on both financial implications and performance metrics. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill. The overall aim is to better understand how remote work arrangements affect state operations and employee effectiveness.
