WHEREAS, Dr. Laslocky appealed to the Personnel Commission of the State of Delaware the abolition of his position and subsequent layoff; and
WHEREAS, the layoff of Dr. Laslocky was determined by the State Personnel Commission of the State of Delaware to be subject to merit system rules 14.0200 and 14.0240; and
WHEREAS, the State Personnel Commission, in its opinion and order of April 23, 1974, ordered that Dr. Laslocky be "reinstated to his position as Veterinarian II with back pay from March 31, 1973, such pay to be reduced by the amount of earnings which Dr. Laslocky has made during that time"; and
WHEREAS, the Attorney General's Office which represented the Department of Agriculture at said hearing has recommended that the Commission's decision not be appealed; and

NOW, THEREFORE:
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Delaware:
