PURPOSE:
This is a chapter amendment that makes changes to provisions of L.2024,

retention policy an elective process for incoming call services contrac-
tors with the State.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
Pursuant to approval memo 65 of 2024, the Executive expressed support

services contractors with the State to hire employees of the prior
contracted entity for call services. This legislation is a negotiated
change to the underlying chapter that addresses those concerns.
