This bill amends various sections of the Minnesota Statutes to reinstate legislative review of compensation plans and salaries for state employees. Key changes include the requirement for the commissioner of management and budget to submit compensation plans to the Legislative Coordinating Commission, which must approve or reject these plans. If the commission disapproves a plan, it must provide written reasons for its decision. Additionally, the commission can grant interim approval for compensation plans when the legislature is not in session, which must then be ratified by the legislature at the next session.

The bill also introduces new provisions for the review and approval of compensation plans for unrepresented state employees and managerial positions. It mandates that the commissioner post summaries of proposed agreements and plans on a state website, detailing changes in employee compensation and associated costs. Furthermore, it revives and reenacts a previously existing statute related to compensation plans, effective retroactively from May 24, 2024. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency and legislative oversight in the compensation processes for state employees.
