AN ACT REQUIRING A STUDY OF STATE EMPLOYEES WORKING REMOTELY.

SB 220 requires the Labor Commissioner, with input from the Office of Policy and Management, to study the fiscal costs and productivity impacts of state employees working remotely. The study must examine remote work’s effects on employee performance, service quality, and state budget costs, including productivity metrics. The findings will be reported to the General Assembly’s Labor and Public Employees committee by the specified deadline. This bill directly affects state employees working remotely and the state government, which will conduct the study but does not change remote work policies.
