Governor's Mansion Authority employees further provided for

SB 252, known as the Sarah Caldwell Crosby Act, clarifies that employees of Alabama's Governor's Mansion Authority are part of the unclassified service under the state's Merit System Act. This change affects how these employees are managed and their eligibility for benefits, aligning them with standard unclassified state staff. The bill also requires that any employee working for the authority as of its effective date receives payment for their accumulated leave upon separation from the job. This codifies an existing practice and ensures a specific benefit for current employees without altering future hiring rules.
