What This Bill Does
If enacted, it would raise salaries by 4% for classified and unclassified state employees, hourly workers, judicial and legislative personnel, and county health department staff funded by state budgets. It also specifies that local salary supplements and employees covered by Merit System or labor agreements are not included. Pay schedules would be revised by the appropriate state offices to reflect the increase, with warrants issued to implement the raise, and funding would come through the annual budget act rather than a separate appropriation. The measure becomes effective immediately after the Governor signs it into law.

Exclusions: local salary supplements tied to state salaries and any Merit System or hourly employees whose pay is covered by a labor agreement or contract would not receive the increase.
