An Act relative to state employment postings
This bill requires all state agencies and institutions to submit every job vacancy to the state's human resources division, except for specific positions already covered by existing laws. Once received, the division must immediately enter these job listings into a statewide computerized referral system to make them accessible to all job seekers. The legislation mandates that no state position can be filled unless the agency has fully complied with this requirement to post the vacancy. Ultimately, the bill aims to centralize state employment information and ensure greater transparency and access to public sector jobs.
