Repeals sections of law pertaining to transfer of civil service and non-civil service employees of terminated local health agency to superseding agency.

This bill repeals two sections (16 and 17) of an existing law (P.L.1975, c.329) that governed the transfer of employees when a local health agency is terminated and replaced by another agency. It removes requirements that employees (both civil service and non-civil service) must be transferred to the new agency with preserved seniority, comparable duties, and pay at least equal to their previous rate. The repeal directly affects employees of local health agencies that may be consolidated or terminated, as it eliminates mandated protections for their employment terms during such transitions. This change simplifies the consolidation process for municipalities and counties seeking to merge health services without being bound by these specific employee transfer rules.
