An Act amending Title 71 (State Government) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in merit system employment, further providing for regulations.
This bill requires the Pennsylvania Office of Administration to submit a detailed report to state legislators regarding its handling of temporary employment regulations. The report must acknowledge specific criticisms about how the office interpreted and managed the authority to create these rules, including claims of inefficiency and misinterpretation. Additionally, the bill mandates that the office provide regular quarterly updates to the legislature until permanent regulations are fully established. These provisions aim to increase transparency and accountability in the state's merit system employment regulatory process.
