Bill > HB192

This bill makes several changes to the classification and compensation of unclassified state employees. Specifically, the bill removes several existing positions from the state compensation schedule, including directors of operations, collections, rehabilitative services, and information services across various departments. In their place, the bill adds new positions such as staff attorneys, supervising attorneys, deputy directors, assistant commissioners, and directors in departments including Health and Human Services, Corrections, Energy, Revenue Administration, and Information Technology. The bill also adjusts the salary range for the Director of Nursing at the Department of Corrections, increasing the range from $110,000-$155,000 to $142,000-$210,740. These changes are recommendations from the Joint Committee on Employee Classification (JCEC), which periodically reviews and updates state employee positions. The fiscal note indicates that while these changes may increase state expenditures, any additional costs in the current biennium will be funded through existing mechanisms like eliminated positions, vacancies, or a salary adjustment fund. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
