In plain language

State service only. Local service is untouched by this section. The Commission, after consulting the departments affected, may direct that personnel, training and related functions be consolidated and coordinated across one or more State agencies, either temporarily or permanently, and the order has to name the functions being consolidated. Three grounds are listed: an appointing authority has demonstrated inadequate or improper performance, economy or efficiency, or an emergent situation. The part that reaches individual people is the last provision. To make a consolidated function work, the Commission may transfer employees, positions, funding and equipment into the receiving agency from other State departments.
