What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the director of the Office of State Employment Relations (OSER) establishes the amount employers must pay towards employee health insurance premiums. Under current law, the director of OSER establishes a separate employer contribution amount for part-time employees who are appointed to work less than 1,044 hours per year than for employees who are appointed to work 1,044 hours or more per year. This bill reduces that threshold amount to 1,040 hours per year. This bill also changes a limited term appointment in state civil service from an appointment that is for less than 1,044 hours per year to an appointment that is for less than 1,040 hours per year.
The state compensation plan includes a certain number of executive salary groups and general senior executive salary groups. This bill moves the secretary of the Department of Employee Trust Funds (DETF) from executive salary group 7 to general senior executive staff group 2. This bill also adds the deputy secretary of DETF to general senior executive staff group 2 and the assistant deputy secretary of DETF to general senior executive staff group 1. As members of general senior executive staff group 2, the amounts paid to the secretary and deputy secretary of DETF may equal or exceed the amount paid to the governor. This bill also allows any position approved by the Joint Committee of Employment Relations to receive pay that is equal to or greater than the amount paid to the governor.
