Bill > HB74

This bill proposes a mandatory salary increase for state employees during the fiscal biennium beginning September 1, 2025. Specifically, full-time employees of state agencies and higher education institutions will receive a $10,000 gross annual salary increase for each of the two fiscal years. Part-time employees will receive a proportional salary increase calculated by multiplying their hourly work ratio (hours worked compared to full-time hours) by $10,000. The bill explicitly excludes legislators and board or commission members who receive per diem payments or expense reimbursements but do not draw a full-time salary from this increase. The legislation will take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session. This pay raise appears designed to provide a substantial and uniform salary boost for state workers across various agencies and institutions, with provisions to ensure part-time employees receive a proportionate increase.
