This bill amends various sections of Minnesota Statutes related to employee compensation plans within state government. Key changes include the removal of the requirement for the Legislative Coordinating Commission to approve or reject compensation plans before they become effective, allowing for a more streamlined process. The bill also clarifies that the commissioner of management and budget must submit compensation plans to the commission for review, but the approval process is less stringent, as the commission's decisions are not binding on the legislature. Additionally, the bill specifies that the compensation plans must be posted on a state website, providing transparency regarding proposed changes in employee compensation.

Furthermore, the bill repeals a specific subdivision that required detailed information to be submitted to the Legislative Coordinating Commission regarding biennial compensation costs under proposed plans. This repeal aims to reduce the administrative burden associated with the approval process. The amendments also emphasize the need for the commissioner to provide summaries of proposed agreements and compensation plans on a state website, ensuring that stakeholders have access to relevant information before any legislative review. Overall, the bill seeks to simplify the process of establishing employee compensation plans while maintaining necessary oversight and transparency.
