JFAC adds small appropriations to implement SB1148 salary adjustments for three commissions
Summary
Committee approved trailer appropriations to implement a statutory salary change for the Public Utilities Commission, Industrial Commission and State Tax Commission, allocating modest dedicated and general fund amounts.
Committee analysts presented trailer appropriations required to implement Senate Bill 1148, which increased commissioner salaries for three state commissions. The packet noted that the total increase to salaries and associated benefits across the three agencies would be allocated via three separate motions.
For the Public Utilities Commission the committee approved an additional $11,800 from dedicated funds. For the State Tax Commission the committee approved an additional $13,000 from the general fund and $2,700 from dedicated funds (total $15,700). For the Industrial Commission the committee approved an additional $11,800 from dedicated funds. Committee members recorded roll-call votes for each appropriation; the chair announced each motion would go forward with a due-pass recommendation after the required majorities were recorded.
Committee staff explained that statute requires separate appropriations to align the commissioners' adjustments with the broader state CEC process. The committee advanced all three trailer appropriations and forwarded them with due-pass recommendations.
Ending: The three trailer appropriations implementing SB1148 were approved by the committee and will proceed with the committee's due-pass recommendations.
