Bill > SB572

This bill proposes a comprehensive salary increase for state employees during the fiscal biennium beginning September 1, 2025. Specifically, full-time employees of state agencies and higher education institutions will receive a $10,000 gross annual salary increase in each year of the biennium, while part-time employees will receive a prorated increase calculated by multiplying their $10,000 allocation by the ratio of their worked hours to full-time hours. The bill explicitly excludes legislators and members of boards, commissions, or governing bodies who receive per diem or expense reimbursement but no salary from this pay raise. These salary increases will automatically take effect on September 1, 2025, providing a significant boost to state employees' compensation across Texas. The bill aims to improve state employee compensation and potentially help with recruitment and retention of workforce talent across various state agencies and educational institutions.
