Bill > A07424

This bill implements collective bargaining agreements for two distinct units of New York State Police employees: troopers and commissioned/non-commissioned officers. It covers salary increases, longevity pay, location compensation, and various additional payments for the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2026. For both units, the bill provides annual salary increases with different rates based on location and rank, a $3,000 lump sum bonus payment, location pay that varies by county, supplemental location compensation, expanded duty pay, hazardous duty pay, and other specialized compensation like command pay and short swing pay. The bill also establishes funds for health benefits, professional development, and training. Each unit's salary increases and benefits are contingent upon the director of employee relations certifying a fully executed collective bargaining agreement. The bill includes provisions for how and when salary increases will be implemented, allows for deferred payments, and ensures that these additional compensations do not affect basic annual salary or existing benefits. The legislation is designed to provide financial recognition and support for state police officers across different ranks and locations, with specific attention to varying living costs and job responsibilities.
