The proposed bill mandates a legislative management study focused on state employee compensation levels during the 2025-26 interim. The study will examine the classified state employee total rewards compensation system, which includes a comprehensive review of pay classifications, health care benefits, and the historical changes to classification and pay levels. It will also compare state employee compensation with similar private sector jobs, assess the use of equity funding and bonuses for employee retention, evaluate prevailing wage payments on state projects, and analyze the impact of health plan benefits and premium rate structures for both single and family coverage.

Additionally, the bill requires the legislative management to report its findings and recommendations to the seventieth legislative assembly, including any necessary legislation to implement these recommendations. Key insertions in the bill include the focus on "total rewards" compensation, specific areas of study such as health care benefits and premium rate structures, and the removal of certain terms like "grades" and "consideration of wage."
