Summary

The bill requires the Office of State Budget and Management to abolish any state employee position that has been empty for at least two years, moving the unspent salary money into a budget reserve. It applies to most state agencies but excludes positions tied to court orders, federal funding, emergency preparedness, and certain 24‑hour operations, as well as the judicial, legislative, community college, and local public‑school workforce. The measure aims to reduce payroll waste and generate savings for the state.
