Classification alignment establishment for Direct Care and Treatment employees

This bill allows the Department of Human Services to move certain Direct Care and Treatment employees from unclassified to classified service status, provided they get approval from Minnesota Management and Budget. Once converted, these employees will follow standard employment rules for classified positions, including probation periods and training, but they must not experience any salary reduction during the transition. The legislation directly affects state workers in human services roles who were previously hired under temporary or pilot authority.
