REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT TO COLLABORATE WITH STATE DEPARTMENTS, AGENCIES, AND LABOR ORGANIZATIONS IN COMPLETING THE COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION SYSTEMS FOR ALL CIVIL SERVICE POSITIONS UNDER ITS JURISDICTION.

This resolution asks the Department of Human Resources Development to work with state agencies and labor groups to finish reviewing how state jobs are classified and paid. The request focuses on addressing high vacancy rates and outdated pay structures that make it hard to hire and keep workers. It directs the department to prioritize departments with the most open positions and difficult-to-fill roles. This is a procedural request rather than a new law, aiming to improve the state's workforce planning process.
