The bill establishes that employees of certain state officials, specifically the secretary of state, state auditor, state treasurer, and superintendent of public instruction, are classified as at-will employees. This means that these employees can be terminated at any time, with or without cause, by the respective state official who hired them. Additionally, the bill exempts these employees from the executive branch's personnel policies, including compensation plans and rules governing employee discipline, grievances, and appeals. However, it clarifies that this exemption does not override any existing statutes that dictate the employment conditions and salaries of specific employees of state officials.

Furthermore, the bill ensures that it does not alter or impair any employment contracts made prior to July 1, 2025, and specifies that employees will only be considered at-will if their contract explicitly states so. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
