STATE EMPLOYEES – Amends existing law to provide that executive employees of the state of Idaho shall not be classified employees.

This bill amends Idaho Code sections 67-5303 and 67-5302 to explicitly classify "all division administrators and all executive employees" as nonclassified state employees. It directly affects leadership roles within state departments (like department directors and their immediate teams), removing them from the standard civil service classification system. The key change clarifies that these executive positions are not subject to the typical personnel rules governing classified employees. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2025.
