This bill amends section 54-44.3-20 of the North Dakota Century Code, which outlines the categories of positions in the state service that are exempt from the employee classification system. The amendment retains most of the existing exemptions while specifically deleting the exemption for "investment and fiscal operations positions of the state retirement and investment office necessary for the management of the investment of funds under the control of the state investment board." This change indicates a shift in how these positions are classified, potentially bringing them under the classified service.
Additionally, the bill repeals section 54-52.5-04, which pertains to an incentive compensation plan for the state retirement and investment office. This repeal suggests a move away from the previous incentive structure, possibly indicating a reevaluation of compensation practices within the office. Overall, the bill aims to clarify and update the classification of state service positions while eliminating certain exemptions and repealing outdated provisions.
