Bill > HB237

This bill proposes a statewide pay raise for state employees during the fiscal biennium beginning September 1, 2025, providing a $10,000 annual gross salary increase for full-time employees and a prorated increase for part-time employees based on their hours worked relative to a full-time schedule. The bill specifically excludes legislators and members of state agency boards or commissions who receive per diem or expense reimbursement but not a full-time salary from this pay raise. The increase will apply to employees across various state agencies, including institutions of higher education as defined by Section 61.003 of the Education Code, and is designed to provide a uniform salary boost to help state employees cope with rising living costs. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, ensuring that the salary increases are implemented at the start of the next fiscal biennium.
