State Personnel Board Rules
The State Personnel Board is appointed by the governor to provide policy direction for administering state employment standards by adopting rules and policies that govern legal compliance and help with effective talent management. The Rules:
- Have the force and effect of law.
- Help promote consistency while allowing flexibility so agencies may tailor their human resources programs for efficiency and effectiveness.
- Apply to the executive branch of the state, except for the Board of Regents and State Authorities (unless an Authority is specifically covered by statute). Other organizations, such as local departments of Public Health and Community Service Boards, are covered as provided by law.
