by the Commissioner of Administrative Services. The Commissioner of Administrative Services may establish procedures for the assignment of permanent state employees
of the executive branch, including institutions of higher education encompassing technical and junior colleges as well as four-year colleges and universities, to a federal agency,
to the office of the court monitor at the Department of Children and Families established
in accordance with the terms of the consent decree entered in the case of Juan F. v.
O'Neill, United States District Court, Docket No. H-89-859 (D. Conn. January 7, 1991),
to any municipality of the state or to institutions of higher education, including private
as well as public institutions and technical and junior colleges as well as four-year
colleges and universities, provided that the assignment meets with the written approval
of the appointing authorities of the agencies and institutions involved in the assignment
of the employee. State employees may only be assigned to such agencies and institutions
with their personal consent. Assignments may be made for a period of up to two years
and renewed once for an additional two years, provided any assignment of an employee
to the court monitor at the Department of Children and Families shall not be subject to
such durational time limits and may remain effective until December 31, 2007. An
employee on such assignment may be deemed to be on detail to a regular work assignment of his or her agency or institution and entitled to full salary and benefits and all
rights and privileges for his class or position. Employees of a federal agency or any
municipality of the state or institutions of higher education, including private as well
as public institutions and technical and junior colleges as well as four-year colleges and
universities, on assignment with an agency of the executive branch of state government
shall serve under appointment made without regard to provisions of the general statutes
regarding appointment in the classified service. The cost of any salary and benefits may
be shared by the jurisdiction or be paid entirely by one or the other and shall be subject
to negotiation between the agencies or institutions cooperating on the assignment. Once
the agencies or institutions have agreed upon the assignment and all terms and conditions
for the assignment, it shall be put into effect by a written agreement and submitted to
the Commissioner of Administrative Services and the Secretary of the Office of Policy
and Management for approval.
