   The provisions of this Subchapter HHH added by Executive Order No. 2023-03, dated January 18, 2023, 53 Pa.B. 705, unless otherwise noted.
§ 7.951. Job postings.

Effective immediately, 92% of all Commonwealth jobs do not require a 4-year college degree, roughly equivalent to 65,000 jobs. Consistent with this Administration’s commitment to emphasizing skills and experience, job postings will begin with equivalent experience needed in lieu of a college degree whenever possible.
§ 7.952. Job classifications review.

The Secretary of Administration, for the remaining 8% of Commonwealth jobs, shall identify the job classifications within the Commonwealth’s classification plan that require applicants to possess a college degree. Thereafter, the Secretary of Administration shall conduct a review to determine which job classifications are appropriate to include practical experience, in lieu of, or in addition to, a 4-year college degree requirement. In conducting the review, the Secretary of Administration shall work with subject matter experts from the affected Commonwealth agencies under the Governor’s jurisdiction. Upon completion of the review, the Secretary of Administration shall recommend to the Executive Board revisions to the Commonwealth’s classification plan.
§ 7.953. Implementation.

Commonwealth agencies under the Governor’s jurisdiction shall take all steps necessary to implement this subchapter.
§ 7.954. General provisions.

This subchapter shall be implemented consistent with applicable law. Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect the authority granted by law to an executive agency, or the head thereof. This subchapter is not intended to and does not create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the Commonwealth, its departments, agencies or entities, its officers, employees or agents, or any other person.
§ 7.955. Effective date.

This subchapter shall take effect immediately and shall remain in effect unless amended or rescinded.
