Sec. 654.0125. EXEMPTION OF POSITIONS BY GOVERNOR. (a) Appropriated money may not be used to pay the salary of a person in a position exempted from the position classification plan by the governor under Section 654.012(8)(A) unless the position is a bona fide new position established to accomplish duties related to programs or functions that were not anticipated, and for that reason not funded, under the General Appropriations Act.
(b) A new position may not be created under Section 654.012(8)(A) for the sole purpose of adjusting the salary of an existing position.
(c) The governor's exemption of a position from the position classification plan under Section 654.012(8)(A) must contain a certification that the exemption is for a bona fide new position. The comptroller may not pay compensation for the position until formal notification of the action of the governor to exempt the position is filed with the classification officer and the Legislative Budget Board.
(d) A position exempted by the governor under Section 654.012(8)(A) in the first year of a state fiscal biennium may continue into the second year. The salary rate established for the position may be adjusted for the second year of the biennium by a rate not to exceed the rate by which the salary schedule for classified positions in the General Appropriations Act is adjusted from the first to the second year of the biennium.
