Title 2 - Consolidation of Local Government Entities
767 - Effect of Transition on Employees.

§ 767. Effect of transition on employees. Except as otherwise provided
by law and except for those officials and employees protected by tenure
of office, civil service provisions or collective bargaining agreement,
upon the effective date of consolidation, all appointive offices and
positions then existing in all component local government entities
involved in the consolidation shall be subject to the terms of the joint
consolidation agreement or elector initiated consolidation plan, as the
case may be. Such agreement or plan may provide for instances in which
there is duplication of positions and for other matters such as varying
length of employee contracts, different civil service regulations in the
constituent entities and differing ranks and position classifications
for similar positions.
