Text

1. a. The Superintendent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and regularly update a catalogue which: (1) Identifies each employment title and position for enlisted members in the division; and (2) Sets forth a job description for each such title and position, including any special qualifications or skills that are necessary for appointment to a particular title or position. b. The catalogue prepared pursuant to subsection a. of this section, shall, as are the lists of State and local employment titles and positions, be made available to the public at designated locations. c. Except as provided in subsection d. of this section, whenever the superintendent shall determine that the effective operation of the division, or one of its particular duties or responsibilities, necessitates the establishment of a title or position, either on a temporary or permanent basis, which is not set forth in the catalogue prepared pursuant to subsection a. of this section, no appointment to that special title or position shall be made until notice of that special title or position shall be made readily available to enlisted members at division headquarters, each troop headquarters and all other division facilities and adequate time is given to permit interested and qualified enlisted members to apply. The notice shall include, but not be limited to, a description of the special title or position and the special qualifications or skills that are necessary for appointment. The requirements of this subsection shall not apply to titles or positions on the Superintendent's executive staff which involve managerial executive functions. For purposes of this section, "managerial executive functions" means the formulation of management policies and the direction of the effectuation of such management policies on behalf of the Superintendent. d. This section shall not apply to titles or positions established on a temporary basis in order to respond to an emergency situation in which immediate action is warranted in order to provide for or maintain the public safety and to titles or positions where public disclosure would jeopardize the safety of any person or jeopardize any investigation in progress or be otherwise inappropriate based on a bona fide law enforcement purpose or the public safety. e. The information set forth in the catalogue prepared or updated pursuant to subsection a. and in any notices provided pursuant to subsection c. shall not be subject to collective negotiation or collective bargaining. Nothing in this act shall be deemed to affect or impair any rights which are subject to collective negotiation or collective bargaining. L.2003,c.29,s.1.
