The resolution proposes the approval of a collective bargaining agreement between the State of Connecticut and the Connecticut State Police Union (NP-1), which was submitted for consideration on April 23, 2025. The agreement includes a general wage increase of 2.5% for the fiscal year 2026 and outlines the associated costs, which total approximately $4.39 million for FY 26 and $4.45 million for FY 27. The resolution was reported favorably by the House Committee on Appropriations, indicating support for its adoption.

In addition to the wage increases, the agreement will incur fringe benefit costs related to the negotiated provisions, including contributions to Social Security, Medicare, and the state employee retirement system. Municipalities with resident state troopers will also bear some costs, estimated at $301,675 in FY 26 and $305,967 in FY 27, as they are responsible for a portion of the expenses associated with these troopers. Overall, the resolution aims to formalize the agreement and ensure continued support for the state's law enforcement personnel.
