Here is the act you were probably talking about:
Act 2262
After seeking legal counsel here's what I've discovered:
1)A state employee may not directly supervise a relative.
2) There is no emergency clause so the bill does not go into effect until July 1, 2005. The law only covers events occurring after the effective date of the act. But this would prevent such an employee from being promoted--their job becomes a dead-end one
(more below).
3) Because of the bill, Coach Jackson will "theoretically" never get promoted once the bill becomes law.
For example, anyone working in the Attorney General's Office that's a relative of the AG can not be promoted after July 1. Likewise, if the AG has a relative in the Executive branch of government somewhere (in any Exec. agency), he would "theoretically" not be able to move into a position where he would have a supervisory role - therefore would not be able to become governor.
4) If two agency employees marry, one of them has to be transferred or resign.
In other words, this Act shouldn't have passed (in my opinion) and that of my legal counsel.
The following is included simply because the legislators family's (who work for them during the session) don't work more than 1000 hours during that time----
“Employee” means a person whose employment is not seasonal 29
or temporary and whose actual performance of duty requires one thousand 30 (1,000) or more hours during a fiscal year;

To sum all that up, there is nothing wrong with the hire.
