This bill revises the compensation structure for certain unclassified state employees, specifically addressing positions within various state departments. It proposes the deletion of several positions from the current law, including the Adult Parole Board Director of Operations and the Department of Health and Human Services Director of Information Services, among others. In contrast, the bill introduces new positions to the compensation framework, such as the Department of Health and Human Services Staff Attorney and the Department of Energy Director of Regulatory Support, thereby expanding the list of roles eligible for salary adjustments.

Additionally, the bill amends the salary range for the Director of Nursing at the Department of Corrections, increasing it from a previous range of $110,000-$155,000 to a new range of $142,000-$210,740. This adjustment aims to enhance recruitment and retention efforts for this critical position. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approval date of May 14, 2025, and an effective date of July 13, 2025.
