ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor Ch. 216
(6) the total number of personnel, both full-time and part-time, associated
with the agreement: and
(7) contact information for the agency and the public institution of higher
education for the person(s) having direct oversight or knowledge of the
agreement.
Further provided that the Department of Budget and Management shall
annually submit a consolidated report to the budget committees and the Department
of Legislative Services by December 1, 2006, which contains information on all
agreements between State agencies and any public institution of higher education
involving potential expenditures in excess of $100,000, that were in effect at any time
during the prior fiscal year.
SECTION 32. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED. That the Board of Public
Works, in exercising its authority to create additional positions pursuant to Section
7-236 of the State Finance and Procurement Article, may authorize during the fiscal
year no more than 50 positions in excess of the total number of authorized State
positions on July 1, 2006, as determined by the Secretary of Budget and Management.
Provided, however, that if the imposition of this ceiling causes undue hardship in any
department, agency, board, or commission, additional positions may be created for
that affected unit to the extent that positions authorized by the General Assembly for
the fiscal year are abolished in that unit or in other units of State government. It is
further provided that the limit of 50 does not apply to any position that may be
created in conformance with specific manpower statutes that may be enacted by the
State or federal government nor to any positions created to implement block grant
actions or to implement a program reflecting fundamental changes in federal/State
relationships. Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, the Board of
Public Works may authorize additional positions to meet public emergencies resulting
from an act of God and violent acts of men, which are necessary to protect the health
and safety of the people of Maryland.
The Board of Public Works may authorize the creation of additional positions
within the Executive Branch provided that 1.25 full-time equivalent contractual
positions are abolished for each regular position authorized and that there he no
increase in agency funds in the current budget and the next two subsequent budgets
as the result of this action. It is the intent of the General Assembly that priority is
given to converting individuals that have been in a contractual position for at least
two years. Any position created by this method shall not be counted within the
limitation of 50 under this section.
In addition to any positions created within the limitation of 50 under this
section, the Board of Public Works may authorize the creation of no more than 150
positions within the Department of Human Resources to provide services purchased
by Local Management Boards through contracts with local departments of social
services. If a Local Management Board terminates a contract with a local department
of social services during the fiscal year, all the positions created by the Board of Public
Works to provide services under the terms of that contract shall be abolished.
