HOUSE BILL 433
Law
Human resources, equivalency
HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION – Amends existing law to provide for qualification equivalency for certain degree requirements through skills, capabilities, work, or relevant experience.
RS30912 / H0433
This bill promotes skills-based hiring for state employees. It prevents the state from using a degree as an arbitrary screening tool and requires that the state evaluate job applicants based on skills and relevant experience. With this bill, applicants can demonstrate the value created by apprenticeships, certificate programs, microcredentials, formal education, prior work experience, and life experiences.
The state has already started implementing a skills-based approach, and this bill codifies that practice.
This legislation will not cause a fiscal impact to state or local governments.
