Exempt deputy directors and agency attorneys from the State Personnel System and change membership provisions under the State Employees Retirement Act

LB 433 exempts state agency deputy directors and attorneys from Nebraska's State Personnel System, meaning these roles would no longer have standard civil service protections. The bill specifies that new deputy directors and attorneys hired after the effective date would serve "at will" (without job security), with salaries set by agency heads and approved by the Governor. Existing employees in these roles could choose to transition to at-will status but would remain under the Personnel System until making that election. This change directly affects over 100 state agency positions across departments like Health, Corrections, and Legal Services, altering their employment terms and retirement system membership.
