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 specific provisions (sections 16 and 17) from a 1975 law that required local health agency employees to be automatically transferred to a new agency when their original agency was terminated due to consolidation. It directly affects both civil service and non-civil service employees of local health agencies whose positions end because their agency is absorbed by a larger regional or county health agency. The repealed sections mandated that transferred employees keep their seniority, receive comparable duties, and maintain at least their previous pay, with non-civil service employees gaining immediate civil service rights upon transfer. The repeal removes these mandatory transfer rules, allowing municipalities more flexibility during health agency consolidations.
