The state Senate today approved a bill to end three-day-a-month furloughs for state employees who work in departments that are funded largely by fees or the federal government. SBX 8 29 would end furloughing workers in departments that get at least 95 percent of their funds from fees or federal money, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Employment Development Department. The measure also exempts from furloughs tax collecting agencies such as the Franchise Tax Board.
