On or before two hundred seventy days after the effective date of 15 this act, the president of the state civil service commission shall 16 complete the study conducted pursuant to section one of this act and 17 shall thereafter deliver a copy of the findings of the study and any 18 legislative recommendations he or she deems to be necessary to the 19 governor, the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the 20 assembly. 21 § 3.
