What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Division of Personnel Management to include in the

2017-19 state employee compensation plan a wage increase for state employees who

are employed at state veterans homes for the purpose of improving recruitment and

retention in positions that have high vacancy rates. The bill specifies that these wage

increases must include at least a $1 per hour increase for certified nursing assistants

employed at state veterans homes. Under the bill, DPM is required to develop the

wage increases so that the estimated cost is approximately $2,000,000 in each fiscal

year.
