Section 54.09. Temporary assignment and transfer of employees

Whenever in
  the opinion of the trust it would be in the  public  interest,  it  may,
  after  prior  approval  of  the  director  of  the  budget,  request the
  temporary assignment and transfer of certain  employees  of  any  board,
  commission,   agency  or  department  of  the  state  or  its  political
  subdivisions, and said board, commission, agency or  department,  if  in
  its opinion such transfer will not interfere with the performance of its
  duties  and  functions,  may  make  such assignment and transfer of said
  employees to the  trust.  Such  assignment  and  transfer  or  extension
  thereof  shall  not  affect  the  civil  service  status,  continuity of
  service,  retirement  plan  status,  right  to  compensation,  grade  or
  compensation   or   other  rights  or  privileges  of  any  employee  so
  transferred.
