SB394 Alabama 2016 Session

Under existing law, salaries of department heads and assistant department heads of the Governor's cabinet and exempt employees and executive assistants in the Governor's office are fixed by the Governor in accordance with recommendations by the State Personnel Board of appropriate pay ranges within the state pay plan

This bill would require the State Personnel Board to establish an appropriate pay range for each department head and assistant department head of the Governor's cabinet and exempt employees and executive assistants in the Governor's office and would cap the salary for each new department head and assistant department head and exempt employees at 10 percent greater than the lowest salary of the pay range established by the State Personnel Board

This bill would limit increases in salary of department heads and others appointed by the Governor

This bill would repeal Section 36-6-6, Code of Alabama 1975

This bill would also provide that the salaries of all existing department heads of the Governor's cabinet be capped at the level established for new department heads under this act

Relating to the Governor's cabinet members; to repeal Section 36-6-6, Code of Alabama 1975; to require the State Personnel Board to establish a salary range for each department head and assistant department head of the Governor's cabinet and exempt employees and executive assistants in the Governor's office; to cap the salary for each new person in one of these positions at 10 percent greater than the lowest salary of the pay range established by the State Personnel Board; to limit increases in salary of department heads and others appointed by the Governor; and to provide that the salaries of all existing department heads of the Governor's cabinet be capped at the level established for new department heads under this act.
