The resolution addresses the annual process mandated by RIGL § 36-4-16.4, which requires the Department of Administration to hold a public hearing in March to determine the salaries of directors and secretaries of state executive departments. Following the public hearing held on March 26, 2025, the Department referred eleven proposed salary increases to the General Assembly by the deadline of April 30, 2025, as stipulated by the law.

In response, the resolution states that a majority of both the House and Senate have voted to reject these proposed salary increases for the eligible unclassified service department directors. This rejection is in accordance with the provisions of RIGL § 36-4-16.4, effectively preventing the salary increases from taking effect.
