AI Summary
This bill directs the New York State Department of Financial Services to conduct a comprehensive study on creating a compensation system that matches the pay scales of similar federal financial regulators. Specifically, the department must collaborate with the Office of Employee Relations and Department of Civil Service to analyze pay structures, with a focus on the federal government's General Schedule (GS) payscale. The goal is to achieve pay parity between state and federal financial regulatory employees to improve recruitment and retention. Within one year, the department must submit a detailed report to key state leaders that includes: identifying comparable positions at federal agencies like the SEC, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; proposing a new compensation system that aligns state and federal pay; exploring alternatives for pay parity; suggesting strategies to improve employee retention; and examining potential cost savings from reduced employee turnover. The bill emphasizes the importance of competitive compensation in attracting and keeping skilled financial regulatory professionals and would take effect immediately upon passage.
