Bill > SF3431

This bill reinstates legislative review of state government compensation plans and salaries by making several key changes to existing Minnesota statutes. The bill requires the commissioner of management and budget to submit compensation plans and salaries to the Legislative Coordinating Commission for review and approval. If the commission disapproves a plan, it must provide written reasons for its objections. The commission now has the power to review and approve or reject compensation plans for various groups of state employees, including unrepresented employees, managerial positions, and employees in higher education systems. When the legislature is not in session, the commission may give interim approval to salary or compensation plans, which must then be submitted to the full legislature for ratification at a special or regular legislative session. The bill also mandates that the commissioner post summary information about proposed compensation plans on a state website, including details about proposed changes in employee compensation and estimated costs. Additionally, the bill revives and reenacts a previously expired provision, ensuring continuity in the legislative review process for state employee compensation plans.
