Sec. 553.10  General.

    Section 3(e)(2)(C) of the Act excludes from the definition of 
``employee'', and thus from coverage, certain individuals employed by 
public agencies. This exclusion applies to elected public officials, 
their immediate advisors, and certain individuals whom they appoint or 
select to serve in various capacities. In addition, the 1985 Amendments 
exclude employees of legislative branches of State and local 
governments. A condition for exclusion is that the employee must not be 
subject to the civil service laws of the employing State or local 
agency.
