This bill proposes revisions to the salaries of certain unclassified state employees, as requested by the joint committee on employee classification. It amends RSA 94:1-a, I(b) by deleting several positions, including the director of legal services for the Department of Health and Human Services and various wardens from the Department of Corrections and the Department of Safety.

Additionally, the bill adjusts salary ranges for specific medical examiner positions within the Department of Justice. The new salary caps are set at $300,000 for the associate medical examiner (up from $240,000), $320,000 for the deputy chief medical examiner (up from $260,000), and $350,000 for the chief medical examiner (up from $300,000).
