Enacts the "unique abilities employment act"

This bill, known as the "unique abilities employment act," allows school districts to hire up to 1,700 employees with developmental disabilities, such as autism or Down syndrome, to fill specific job roles. Under the new rules, these positions are classified as noncompetitive and can be filled only by individuals certified by health services as having a developmental disability, while still offering them the same chance to take promotional exams as other staff. The legislation directly impacts school districts by authorizing them to create these roles and affects the state's civil service system by adding a new category for this type of employment.
