These are the issues this mandated report must address:
(1) the respective roles, responsibilities, and obligations of the sending and receiving entities when a transition occurs;
(2) the treatment of employee compensation, including but not limited to salary placement, benefits, and accrued leave;
(3) the allocation of financial responsibility between entities, including timing and method of payment for employee-related costs;
(4) differences between state and county employment systems, including compensation structures, leave systems, and benefit administration, and how those differences affect transitions;
(5) operations and administrative considerations, including timelines, fiscal year start dates, staffing transitions, data transfers, training needs, policy development, and continuity of supervision services;
(6) budgetary and fiscal impacts associated with transitions, including impacts on resources and positions shared between counties;
(7) any statutory ambiguities or gaps that create uncertainty or disputes during transitions; and
(8) any other issues identified by the working group that are necessary to ensure clear, consistent, and fair transition processes.
