The bill, H.B. No. 803, proposes an amendment to the Government Code regarding the monthly amount of longevity pay for state employees. Specifically, it increases the longevity pay from
$20 to
$50 for every two years of lifetime service credit. This change aims to enhance the financial benefits for state employees based on their years of service.
The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing for a transition period before the new pay structure is implemented. This adjustment reflects a commitment to recognizing and rewarding the dedication of state employees through improved compensation for their longevity in service.
