▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation establishes a teleworking policy for state employees in all three branches of government, including institutions of higher education. If an agency, department, or other state office wishes to offer telework arrangements, a state employee must sign and comply with a telework agreement. On any given day of scheduled work, no more than 15% of in-office employees within an agency, department, or other state office may work outside the office under a telework agreement. In-office employees with job responsibilities that require direct contact with the public are not eligible for telework. A requirement also exists for annual reporting related to telework agreements for state entities offering telework. Field employees with day-to-day responsibilities outside of the office or in the field are exempt from the telework policy.
