Description of Job
This nonpartisan position is for temporary full-time employment from January 2026 through mid-May 2026.
Under the supervision of the Chief Assignable Clerk, assignable clerks are responsible for daily collating and filing of bills, resolutions, and memorials in legislators' files. Upon arriving each morning, daily copies of House and Senate Calendars are placed on members' desks by assignable clerks during the legislative session. Each assignable clerk is assigned to and is responsible for both the left and right side of the aisle for 1 row of legislators’ filing cabinets.
Assignable clerks also help legislators with copying, desk supplies, vote counts and contacting IT if they are experiencing issues with their laptops or connecting to specific chamber printers. The employees in this office work closely together and have heavy workloads during certain times of the session.
After the session, assignable clerks are responsible for removing all bills, fiscal notes and committee reports from their assigned row.
There may be days when legislators work on the chamber floor later than normal; assignable clerks stay until the legislators have completed floor work. March, April and the beginning weeks of May usually require working beyond normal business hours with little advanced notice.
Based on performance, assignable clerks may be asked to return for future legislative sessions.
