Pennsylvania Statutes Title 71 P.S. State Government § 732-506. Transition

In order that there may be an orderly, efficient and economical transition of government following the election of a new Attorney General, the Auditor General, in the fiscal year during which a new Attorney General is elected shall employ such consultants, accountants and experts as shall have been selected in writing by the new Attorney General 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 Attorney General and have informed the new Attorney General-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,” pertaining to State employees. Such personnel shall be paid from an appropriation not to exceed $75,000 made to the Auditor General during the fiscal year when the new Attorney General is elected. Within 30 days after his inauguration the new Attorney General 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.”
