agencies who report directly to the agency head; and those at the level
immediately below those who report directly to the agency head and are at a
payband 6 or higher and (ii) the officers and professional employees of the
legislative branch designated by the joint rules committee of the General
Assembly. For the purposes of this section, the General Assembly and the
