Request for approval on strategic hiring exemptions for Position Control Numbers (PCNs) in non-exempt departments.

Harris County has rules that limit when departments can hire new employees. This request asks the Court to make exceptions for certain positions — called Position Control Numbers (PCNs) — in departments that don't normally qualify for automatic hiring approval. The goal is to make sure key roles can still be filled when needed.

This is a financial authorization item (File 26-3866) introduced on June 1, 2026. If approved, it would allow specific county job positions to move forward with hiring, even within departments that are subject to stricter hiring controls. The Court will decide whether to grant these exemptions.
