The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 411, aims to amend section 29-4 of the general statutes concerning the salaries of sworn members of the Division of State Police within the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. The bill repeals the existing language regarding salaries and replaces it with new provisions that establish a specific payment structure for state police officers assigned to highway construction projects. The new language specifies that these officers will be compensated at a rate determined by an agreement between the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection and the Commissioner of Transportation.

Additionally, the bill maintains the authority of the Commissioner of Administrative Services to fix salaries for state police personnel and outlines the procedures for promotions, demotions, suspensions, and dismissals. It emphasizes the requirement for state police officers to be sworn in before performing their duties and mandates the designation of an adequate patrol force for motor patrol work. The act is set to take effect upon passage, thereby ensuring that the new compensation structure for officers involved in highway construction projects is implemented promptly.
