relating to the salary of certain employees who transfer within a | ||
state agency. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter K, Chapter 659, Government Code, is | ||
amended by adding Section 659.2532 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 659.2532. TRANSFER WITHIN AGENCY BETWEEN CLASSIFIED | ||
POSITIONS WITH SAME POSITION TITLE WHEN EMPLOYEE IS COMPETITIVELY | ||
SELECTED. (a) In this section, "classified position" means a | ||
position classified under the state's position classification | ||
plan. | ||
(b) A state employee's annual salary rate immediately after | ||
a transfer may be set at any rate in the appropriate salary group if | ||
the employee: | ||
(1) transfers within a state agency between two | ||
classified positions that: | ||
(A) are allocated to the same salary group; and | ||
(B) have the same position title as listed in the | ||
General Appropriations Act; | ||
(2) transfers to a position for which the employment | ||
opening is publicly listed in accordance with Chapter 656; | ||
(3) voluntarily applies for the position to which the | ||
employee transfers; and | ||
(4) agrees to accept the position to which the | ||
employee transfers at the publicly listed salary. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 659.2532, Government Code, as added by | ||
this Act, applies only to a transfer of position that takes effect | ||
on or after September 1, 2023. A transfer of position that takes | ||
effect before September 1, 2023, is governed by the law in effect on | ||
the effective date of the transfer, and the former law is continued | ||
in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023. | ||
