TO: Janice Mitchell Mintz, Commissioner

FROM: Marjorie Schwartz, Director Human Resource Management
SUBJECT: Change in State Classification Plan
DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES
The Department of Human Services has requested that one (1) title be allocated to the unclassified service for use by the New Jersey Developmental Disabilities Council and the State Office of Disabilities Services in order to employ the developmentally disabled.
The New Jersey Developmental Disabilities Council is responsible, through change and advocacy, for promoting the development of a comprehensive system of services, designed to assist the disabled and their families to achieve independence and integration in the community. While allocated to the Department of Human Services, N.J.S.A. 30:1AA-1 provides that the Developmental Disabilities Council be independent of any control or supervision by the Department of Human Services. Because of its autonomy, the Council is considered a separate layoff unit, and individuals employed by the Council are not impacted by any departmental reduction-in-force. The Council must maintain compliance with the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act, federal legislation which limits the length of time for certain projects and encourages employment of the disabled or their family members.
The Office of Disabilities Services, created in October 1997 and strongly supported by Governor Whitman, was established to provide cross-disabilities information and referral services to all New Jersey residents. It is requested that the State Office of Disabilities Services also be permitted to use the same unclassified title, pursuant to its mission of providing employment opportunities to the disabled.
Since neither agency currently has the ability to select disabled individuals for particular projects or to encourage employment of people with disabilities, the creation of this unclassified title would enable maximum diversity in employing persons with disabilities, eliminate any impact from a departmental reduction- in-force, and allow the Department of Human Services to maintain compliance with the Developmental Assistance and Bill of Rights Act.
Appointment to this title will require notification of the appointee's specific disability and the approval of the Division of Human Resource Management.
With your approval, the following title may be relegated to the unclassified service in accordance with N.J.S.A. 11A:3-4(l).
CREATION OF UNCLASSIFIED TITLE: Disabilities Services Specialist X98 Effective: November 7, 1998
