This bill, requested by the joint committee on employee classification, aims to revise the salaries and classifications for certain unclassified state employees by amending RSA 94:1-a. The bill deletes several positions from the current law, including the director of operations for the Adult Parole Board and various director roles within the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Corrections. In contrast, it adds new positions such as staff attorneys and deputy directors within the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as various director roles in the Department of Energy and the Department of Information Technology.

Additionally, the bill proposes a salary adjustment for the Director of Nursing in the Department of Corrections, increasing the salary range from $110,000-$155,000 to $142,000-$210,740. The bill does not provide funding or authorize new positions, and while it may lead to increased state expenditures due to higher salaries, these costs are expected to be managed through existing funds from eliminated positions or vacancies. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
