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 recognition of long-serving state employees.
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 improving employee compensation in recognition of their service duration.
Statutes affected: Introduced: Government Code 659.044 (Government Code 659)
