Bill > HCR0001

This Concurrent Resolution, passed by both the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate, waives a constitutional requirement that legislative notice be given for increases in employee pay. Specifically, it allows for pay raises that were approved by the Civil Service Commission for both unionized (exclusively represented) and non-unionized (non-exclusively represented) state employees to take effect immediately, rather than waiting for the start of a fiscal year and inclusion in the Governor's budget proposal, as typically required by the Michigan Constitution. This waiver is necessary because agreements for these pay increases were finalized after the usual budget submission timeline.
