AI Summary
This bill mandates a 3% salary increase for state service employees, effective July 1, 2026, which will be applied to their current annual compensation as of June 30, 2026, with part-time employees receiving a proportional increase based on their hours worked. The State Personnel Board is responsible for adjusting the Colonel Guy Groff/Neville Kenning Variable Compensation Plan to implement these raises, ensuring that no employee's salary exceeds that of their agency's executive head, and if an employee's base salary would otherwise exceed the end of their job classification's pay scale, the Board must adjust the pay scale to allow them to receive the full 3% increase. The Legislature is also directed to appropriate the necessary funds to cover these salary adjustments, and the act will become effective upon its passage.
