This bill establishes a new classification alignment for Direct Care and Treatment employees within the Minnesota human services system. It allows for the conversion of certain unclassified employees into the classified service, provided that this conversion receives approval from Minnesota Management and Budget. This process is set to override existing laws, including section 43A.08 and Minnesota Rules, part 3900.1300, which typically govern employee classifications.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that employees who are converted to the classified service will be subject to the standard terms and conditions of employment associated with classified positions, including probationary periods and mandatory training. Importantly, it ensures that these employees will not experience a reduction in salary at the time of their conversion, thereby protecting their financial status during this transition.
