This bill, requested by the joint committee on employee classification, aims to revise the salaries and classifications of certain unclassified state employees by amending RSA 94:1-a. Specifically, it 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, the bill adds new positions, such as staff attorneys and deputy directors within the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as various director roles within the Department of Energy and the Department of Corrections.

Additionally, the bill proposes a salary adjustment for the Director of Nursing at the Department of Corrections, changing the salary range from a deletion of $110,000-$155,000 to an insertion of $142,000-$210,740. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage. While the bill does not provide funding or authorize new positions, it is expected to impact state expenditures due to potential salary increases resulting from the new classifications, which will be managed through existing funds or adjustments in agency operating budgets.
