Title: Northport, civil service system, city attorney deleted from exempt service, Act 1225, 1969 Reg. Sess. am'd.
Summary: This bill moves Northport city attorneys who provide legal services from exempt civil service to classified civil service, effective after the Governor approves it.
What This Bill Does
It changes the status of attorney positions for Northport's civil service system to be in the classified service rather than exempt. Classified positions are subject to civil service rules such as hiring and job protections. The bill keeps the existing rules for how other exempt and classified positions are defined and lets the city governing body move positions between these categories by resolution. It becomes law immediately after the Governor signs it.

Who It Affects
City of Northport attorneys providing legal services, who would be moved from exempt service to classified service.
City government officials and boards/commissions in Northport who administer the civil service system and may transfer positions between exempt and classified by resolution.

Key Provisions
Amends Section 2 of Act 1225, 1969 to place attorneys rendering legal services in the classified service instead of the exempt service.
Retains the existing framework: exempt service includes elected officials, volunteers, temporary/professional consultants, seasonal or part-time positions; classified service includes city positions paid from the general fund or other funds not in exempt service; governing body may move positions between services by resolution; classified to exempt transfers require resolution and board recommendation.
Effective immediately following approval by the Governor.
