Senate Bill No. 370, also known as Public Act No. 26-115, establishes a new provision regarding the hourly compensation for adjunct fire instructors employed by the Connecticut Fire Academy. Effective July 1, 2026, the bill mandates that the Commissioner of Administrative Services will adjust the hourly pay for these instructors in accordance with the percentage rate of any general wage increase and cost-of-living adjustment that is part of the most recently ratified agreement between the state and the State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition.

This legislation introduces a new legal requirement for the adjustment of compensation, ensuring that adjunct fire instructors receive pay increases that align with broader state employee wage adjustments. There are no deletions from current law noted in this bill, as it solely adds new language to establish this compensation adjustment mechanism.
