What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Corrections to provide additional

compensation of $2.00 per hour to correctional officers and youth counselors in

calendar year 2022, and $5.00 per hour in calendar year 2023 and in subsequent

years, until funding under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) is no longer

available. The bill also requires the Department of Health Services to provide

additional compensation to psychiatric care technicians of $2.00 per hour in calendar

year 2022, and $5.00 per hour in calendar year 2023 and in subsequent years, until

funding under ARPA is no longer available. The additional compensation is not

permanent and the amounts are not cumulative. The bill also allows DOC and DHS

to use money received under ARPA and allocated by the governor to provide

recruitment and retention benefits to correctional officers, youth counselors, and

psychiatric care technicians.

Under the bill, the governor must allocate sufficient moneys received under

ARPA to DOC and DHS for the additional compensation and the recruitment and

retention benefits under the bill.
