The general purpose of KRS 18A.005 to 18A.200 is to establish for the state a
system of personnel administration based on merit principles and scientific
methods governing the recruitment, examination, appointment, promotion,
transfer, lay-off, removal, discipline, and welfare of its classified employees and
other incidents of state employment. All appointments and promotions to
positions in the state classified service shall be made solely on the basis of
merit and fitness, to be ascertained by competitive examination, except as
hereinafter specified. The General Assembly finds that this chapter is
necessary in order to improve the morale and motivation of state employees
and to gain the maximum utilization of human resources in order to provide
better service to the citizens of this Commonwealth.
The total number of permanent full-time personnel employed in agencies of the
executive branch shall not exceed thirty-three thousand (33,000).
The provisions of subsection (2) of this section do not apply to teachers, career
guidance coaches and counselors, or school administrators employed in
state-operated area technology centers, or employees of the General
Assembly, the Legislative Research Commission, the Kentucky Higher
Education Assistance Authority, the Kentucky Higher Education Student Loan
Corporation, or the Court of Justice.
As used in this section, "career guidance coach" has the same meaning as in
KRS 158.810.
