Bill > HB803

This bill amends Section 659.044(a) of the Government Code to increase the monthly longevity pay for state employees from $20 to $50 for every two years of lifetime service credit. Longevity pay is a form of compensation that rewards state employees for their continued service and experience, providing additional monthly income based on the total years they have worked. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, giving state agencies time to prepare for and implement the increased longevity pay rate. By raising the monthly amount, the bill aims to provide a more substantial financial recognition of state employees' long-term commitment and service to the state of Texas.
