AN ACT CONCERNING NONEXEMPT EMPLOYEES OF THE DIVISION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE.

HB 5289 allows nonexempt employees of the Division of Criminal Justice to work as adjunct professors at Connecticut community colleges. Currently, these state employees are restricted from outside employment, but the bill removes that barrier. The key provision amends chapter 67 of the general statutes to explicitly permit this dual role. It directly affects nonexempt staff in the Division of Criminal Justice who wish to teach part-time at community colleges. The bill makes a specific, limited change to employment rules without altering pay, benefits, or other policies.
