These limited duration positions are authorized in the DLCD budget through June 2019. DLCD intends to include these positions in future budget requests and they may become permanent depending on funding; however, the budget is subject to review by the governor and the legislature, and the positions may or may not be continued. Limited duration positions receive all of the benefits of regular positions during the term, including medical insurance, retirement benefits, vacation leave, sick leave, personal business leave, and paid holidays.
