The House Resolution No. 17 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 resolution was reported favorably by the House Committee on Appropriations, indicating support for the agreement. The key component of the agreement includes a general wage increase of 2.5% for the fiscal year 2026, along with associated fringe benefits costs.

The total estimated cost of the agreement is approximately $4.39 million for FY 26 and $4.45 million for FY 27, which includes both wage increases and fringe benefits. Municipalities that employ resident state troopers will also incur costs, estimated at $301,675 in FY 26 and $305,967 in FY 27, as they are responsible for a portion of the expenses related to these troopers. The resolution reflects the ongoing financial commitments associated with the state's law enforcement personnel and the collaborative efforts between the state and the police union.
