Bill > SB140

This bill provides several key provisions related to State Bargaining Unit 6 and state employee compensation and benefits. It approves a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) for State Bargaining Unit 6, which will be effective from July 3, 2025, to July 2, 2028. The bill introduces a new Personal Leave Program 2025 (PLP 2025) for Bargaining Unit 6 employees, which requires participants to take a 3% pay reduction in exchange for 5 hours of leave credits per month (with slightly different terms for Fire Captains). The bill also suspends the employer's monthly contribution for prefunding retiree health care for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 fiscal years, while maintaining the employees' 4.0% monthly contribution. Additionally, the bill provides for a reduction of $120,242,000 across various budget items as part of the agreement with State Bargaining Unit 6. The bill ensures that the provisions requiring expenditure of funds will only take effect if specifically appropriated by the Legislature and allows either the state employer or the bargaining unit to reopen negotiations if funding is not approved. The bill is explicitly tied to the state budget and is designed to take effect immediately.
