S.F. No. 5019 Summary

• Removes interim approval authority for employee compensation plans when the legislature is not in session and eliminates the requirement that proposed plans be submitted to the legislature for ratification.

• Changes implementation timing so compensation plans take effect upon submission to the Legislative Coordinating Commission rather than upon commission approval.

• Eliminates detailed fiscal impact reporting requirements that previously required comparisons of biennial compensation costs broken down by fund source and salary versus benefits components.

• Modifies commission review procedures to remove language about plan approval or modification, replacing it with language about submission for review and legislative consideration.

• Removes strike restrictions that previously applied to employees covered by compensation plans while interim approval was in effect.
