STATEMENT
This bill provides that when a local public employer implements a layoff action, the Civil Service Commission will order a classification review or desk audit, as appropriate, of all persons in provisional appointments with that employer to ensure that no provisional employee occupies a title formerly held by a recently laid off employee. The purpose of the review or audit is to confirm that the layoff action was done in good faith for economic and efficiency reasons.
