What it does: Present law requires the commissioner of human resources ("commissioner") to perform certain human resources functions authorized in present law if requested by state organizations. This bill, instead, authorizes the commissioner to perform such functions, rather than requires. JOB OPENINGS Present law requires the commissioner to give public notice of a job opening at least one week prior to the closing of the application period. This bill eliminates that requirement.
