a. The commission is authorized to designate those offices and positions in Office

of Legislative Services which for the purposes of the Unemployment Compensation law

are major nontenured policy making or advisory positions. b. Officers and employees of the office shall be chosen subject to the approval of

the commission without reference to political affiliation, solely on grounds of fitness

to perform the duties of their office or employment and their employment and civil

service status shall be governed by subsection d. of R.S. 11:4-4 , except that: (1) Any person holding office, position or employment in any department, board, commission

or agency in the Executive Branch of the State Government, which is in the classified

service of the civil service, who shall be appointed to any office, position or employment

under the Legislative Services Commission shall, after the adoption of a resolution

by the Legislative Services Commission to that effect, hold the office, position or

employment to which he is so appointed with the same civil service rights, privileges

and protections as he had and enjoyed in said office, position or employment in the

Executive Branch of the State Government, notwithstanding that the office, position

or employment to which he is so appointed shall itself be in the unclassified service

of the civil service; and (2) Employees performing stenographic or clerical duties may be appointed from the

classified service of the civil service of the State in any case in which in the judgment

of the commission more competent persons can be so employed and when so appointed

such employees shall have civil service status as members of the classified service

of the civil service, but no law or rule regulating assignment to duties, hours of

work or payment for overtime shall be binding upon the agency as to persons employed

by it whether or not they are employed from the classified service of the civil service.
