Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 2585 changes the time frame for certain personnel actions from a two-year period (July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2022) to a one-year period (July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021). This adjustment means that any hiring or staffing decisions made during this time will only be influenced by the rules set forth for a single year instead of two. This change matters because it can lead to a more immediate response to staffing needs and ensure that policies and regulations are relevant to the current context rather than extending them for a longer duration that may not be needed.
