This bill increases the longevity pay amounts for certain state employees, which is an annual payment given to employees based on their years of service to the state. Specifically, the bill revises the schedule for longevity payments, generally increasing the amounts for each service bracket, and also raises the additional amount added for every two years of service beyond twenty years. The bill also clarifies some language regarding how service is calculated and when payments are made, and it will take effect on July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause to allow it to be in full force immediately upon passage and approval.
