STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31101 / S1261
This legislation establishes a teleworking policy for state employees in all three branches of government,
including institutions of higher education. If an agency, department, or other state office wishes to offer
telework arrangements, a state employee must sign and comply with a telework agreement. On any given day
of scheduled work, no more than 15% of in-office employees within an agency, department, or other state
office may work outside the office under a telework agreement. In-office employees with job responsibilities
that require direct contact with the public are not eligible for telework. A requirement also exists for annual
reporting related to telework agreements for state entities offering telework. Field employees with day-to-day
responsibilities outside of the office or in the field are exempt from the telework policy.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it
cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government; therefore, the legislation has no fiscal
impact.
