This bill amends Idaho Code Sections 67-5303 and 67-5302 to redefine the classification of state employees, specifically by allowing executive employees to be classified as nonclassified employees. The amendment to Section 67-5303 includes the insertion of "and all executive" to the list of nonclassified employees, thereby expanding the scope of nonclassified positions to include executive roles. Additionally, Section 67-5302 revises the definition of "executive employee" by removing the terms "nonclassified or classified," indicating that the designation will now solely apply to executive positions without the previous classification distinction.
The bill also declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This change aims to streamline the classification of state employees and provide greater flexibility in the management of executive roles within Idaho's state government.
