The bill establishes a pilot program aimed at developing and implementing an experiential training regime for state managerial employees in specific departments, including Corrections, Human Services, and Transportation. The experiential training regime is defined as a systematic approach that allows managers to gain a deep understanding of their roles by performing the duties of the positions they oversee. The commissioner of management and budget is tasked with contracting a private business consulting service to assist in this initiative, without the requirement to demonstrate the unavailability of existing staff for this work. The pilot programs will focus on creating training materials, implementation plans, and identifying additional managerial positions that could benefit from similar training.

Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation of funds from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support the contract with the consulting service. The pilot projects are required to be completed by July 1, 2026, with reports on their outcomes due by August 1, 2026. Following the completion of the pilot programs, the respective departments must implement the experiential training regimes by January 1, 2027. The bill emphasizes that managers' shifts should not reduce the availability of shifts for the employees they supervise, ensuring that operational capacity is maintained.
