1-1-5. Pilot projects.
(a) Plans for pilot projects within the state employee workforce may be developed by the
director for the purpose of determining whether a specified change in human resource
management policies or procedures or a new human resources program would result in
improved statewide human resource management. The plan shall specifically delineate any
provisions of one or more personnel regulations relating to state agencies and state
employees that are to be suspended with respect to participants in the pilot project and
shall include findings that each proposed suspension of a regulation meets all of the
following criteria:
(1) Suspension of the regulation is necessary to implement a pilot project that is
expected to accomplish one or more of the following purposes:
(A) To provide a means to recruit, select, develop, or maintain an effective and
responsible workforce;
(B) to provide personnel administration practices that meet the social, economic, and
program needs of the people of the state of Kansas;
(C) to facilitate the administration of personnel actions based on merit principles and
fitness to perform the work required;
(D) to provide fair and equal opportunity for public service; or
(E) to provide improvements and economies in the organization and operation of state
agencies.
(2) Suspension of the regulation will not be in conflict with the civil service act or any
other statute of the state of Kansas.
(3) Suspension of the regulation will not be in conflict with any applicable federal
statutes or regulation.
(4) Suspension of the regulation will not result in any personnel administration actions
made on the basis of race, national origin or ancestry, religion, political affiliation,
or other nonmerit factors.
(b) The plan for a pilot project shall be subject to review by the secretary of
administration. The pilot project may be approved, modified and approved, or rejected by
the secretary. Each plan that is either approved or modified and approved by the secretary
shall be submitted to the governor.
(c) Implementation of the pilot project may be authorized by the governor in the form of
an executive directive, which may place additional limitations or conditions on
implementation of the pilot project as the governor deems advisable. The executive
directive shall stipulate any provisions of one or more personnel regulations relating to
state agencies and state employees that are suspended for participants in the pilot
project. Such a suspension of provisions of one or more regulations shall be effective
only for pilot project participants and only for the duration of the pilot project.
