The bill, known as General Assembly Committee Bill No. 1037, proposes an increase in the per diem rate for members of the Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations. Specifically, it amends subsection (a) of section 31-102 of the general statutes, which currently stipulates that board members receive a per diem of one hundred fifty dollars for their duties. The new language replaces this amount with three hundred dollars, effective October 1, 2025.

In addition to the increase in compensation, the bill maintains the existing structure and responsibilities of the State Board of Labor Relations, which consists of three members appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the General Assembly. The bill ensures that members are still not salaried but compensated for their service, and it outlines the process for appointments, removals, and the board's operational authority. The overall purpose of the bill is to enhance the financial remuneration for board members, thereby potentially improving the recruitment and retention of qualified individuals for these important roles.
