Bill > SB2374

This bill directs the State Personnel Board and heads of state agencies to implement a 6% across-the-board salary increase for full-time state employees whose salaries are funded by the State General Fund, effective July 1, 2025. The increase will apply to an employee's annual compensation as of June 30, 2025, and part-time employees will receive a pro-rated increase based on their weekly work hours. The State Personnel Board is specifically required to amend the State Variable Compensation Plan to reflect this salary increase, which is subject to legislative appropriation. The purpose of the bill is to provide a uniform pay raise for state employees, potentially helping to retain talent, address cost of living changes, and recognize the work of state government personnel. The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that state employees across various agencies will receive a consistent percentage increase in their annual compensation.
