owned vehicles for official State business.
-
- The increased rate applies to non-represented employees and the following
collective bargaining units: NP-2, NP-3, NP-4, NP-5, NP-6, NP-8, P-1, P-2, P-3A,
P-3B, P-4 and
P-5.
-
- The above provisions also apply to Managerial and Confidential employees and
all other executive branch employees who are exempt from the classified service
or not included in any prevailing bargaining unit contract, except unclassified
