STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30881 / S1219
This legislation establishes a teleworking policy for state employees in executive agencies. In-office
employees with positions that do not require direct contact with the public must work at least 75 percent of
their scheduled workdays in a two-week period in state offices and meet the requirements of a state telework
agreement. In-office employees with job responsibilities that require direct contact with the public are not
eligible for telework. Field employees with day-to-day responsibilities outside of the office or in the field are
exempt from the telework policy.
This bill also stipulates that any salary increases approved by the Legislature only go into effect as of July 1 in
the designated fiscal year, and for the fiscal year 2025; personnel costs cannot be transferred to other categories.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it
cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government; therefore, the legislation has no fiscal
impact.
