§ 783. Transition of government; temporary personnel
In order that there may be an orderly, efficient and economical transition of government following the election of a new Governor, the Auditor General, in the fiscal year during which a new Governor is elected, shall employ such consultants, accountants and experts as shall have been selected in writing by the new Governor who is hereby authorized to fix the compensation to be paid such personnel. Such notice to the Auditor General shall be given at any time after the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Auditor General have determined the person receiving the highest number of votes for the office of Governor and have informed the new Governor-elect of such determination. Since this personnel is to be engaged for a limited period of time, they shall not be eligible for membership in any of the retirement systems of the Commonwealth, nor shall they be bound by or subject to the provisions of “The Administrative Code of 1929,”1 pertaining to State employes. Such personnel shall be paid from an appropriation [not to exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)] made to the Auditor General during the fiscal year when the new Governor is elected. Within thirty days after his inauguration the new Governor shall dispense with the services of the temporary personnel or place such members thereof as he sees fit on the payroll of the Commonwealth in the manner provided by “The Administrative Code of 1929.”
