This bill amends Section 70A.1 of the Iowa Code to establish new provisions regarding overtime pay for state employees. It specifies that salaries provided in an appropriation Act will replace existing statutory salaries for the designated positions, and all salaries will be paid in accordance with chapter 91A. A key change is the introduction of a new provision that allows state employees earning an annual salary of less than $125,000, who are not covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, to be eligible for overtime pay at a rate of one and one-half times their regular pay rate.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that salaries for state employees who are covered by either the federal Fair Labor Standards Act or the new provisions outlined in this bill will be established on an hourly basis. This change aims to ensure fair compensation for state employees who may not currently receive overtime pay, thereby enhancing their overall remuneration and aligning state practices with federal standards.
