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.
