WALTONGOP
Thanks for asking so I can clarify this matter. I know it has been brought up in the past.
?Chapter 2007-319? House Bill No. 1613
In accordance with the Walton County Sheriffs? Office Career Service Employees Act; signed into law by Governor Charlie Christ, all fulltime sworn and civilian employees of the Walton County Sheriffs? Office are granted permanent employment status. Permanent status employees cannot be terminated by an elected or appointed Sheriff upon entering office. Permanent statutes employees can only be terminated ?FOR JUST CAUSE?.
There is more within the house bill if you would like to go online for a review.
Under the election laws I can stay employed with the Sheriffs? Office while I am ?pre-qualified?. In June when I officially qualify I will have to terminate my employment. The election laws state I cannot run for an office that is currently held by my superior officer.
Thanks again,
Rick
