Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Two years of 1% raises for state staff

Beginning July 1, 2025, covered state employees get a 1% raise. On July 1, 2026, they get another 1% raise. Employees with retained salaries are excluded. The state sets aside about $4.9 million and $10.1 million from the General Fund for the two years, plus Highway Fund and NSHE money, to pay these raises. Highway Fund support is about $1.1 million and $2.3 million; NSHE about $0.46 million and $0.94 million; DOT Highway Fund authorizations about $0.53 million and $1.10 million. Unused amounts must revert by the statutory September dates.

Two-year $1,000 retention bonuses for state workers

Beginning July 1, 2025, the state pays retention bonuses to many represented state employees. If you are in units A, C, E–I, or K–O, you get $1,000 in FY 2025–2026 and $1,000 in FY 2026–2027. Units G, H, K, M, and O are paid in four equal installments starting July 2025. Other units are paid under their contract terms. The law also funds related contract items like annual leave cash‑outs, recruitment or education pay, tool, footwear, uniform and equipment allowances, muster pay, cancer screening, line‑of‑duty death reimbursements, and special pay adjustments. These are one‑time funds for the 2025–2027 biennium. Any money not committed by June 30, 2027 must revert by September 17, 2027.

New rules for union contract funding and leave

Effective July 1, 2025, any union contract clause that says the Legislature must fund a benefit is void unless this session funded it. At the same time, personal leave and union leave in the listed units’ contracts do not need a legislative appropriation and take effect. This applies to units (a), (c), (e)–(i), and (k)–(o).
