The House Concurrent Resolution No. aims to establish a joint subcommittee composed of members from the House Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Finance to study and propose legislative and policy changes regarding the state supplemental pay program for local law enforcement and fire protection officers. This initiative follows a performance audit report issued by the legislative auditor on February 1, 2024, which highlighted findings and recommendations pertinent to the program. The resolution emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the state supplemental pay program adheres to constitutional and statutory requirements, which is crucial for the state's financial health.

The joint subcommittee will consist of six members, equally representing both committees, and will be tasked with reviewing relevant constitutional provisions, statutes, and the legislative auditor's report. They will assess the findings and recommendations and propose necessary changes for the 2025 Regular Session of the Legislature. The subcommittee is also authorized to conduct public hearings and gather information from various agencies and local governments involved in the supplemental pay program. A report detailing their findings and recommendations is to be submitted to the House and Senate committees by March 1, 2025.
