This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating funds to various state departments, specifically the state department of corrections, the department of juvenile corrections, and the department of public safety. The bill includes new provisions that allocate specific sums from the state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to provide salary increases for correctional officers and investigators within these departments.
The proposed insertions detail the appropriations, specifying the percentage increases for correctional officers in both the state department of corrections and the department of juvenile corrections, as well as for investigators in the state department of corrections and for all employees in the department of public safety. There are no deletions or changes to existing law; the bill solely adds new financial provisions to enhance employee compensation in these critical state roles.
