The amendment strikes the language in the underlying bill and the 
associated fiscal impact. 
Section 1 of the amendment creates a State-wide Staffing Oversight 
Committee under the Department of Public Health, which results in a 
cost to the agency for a Staff Attorney II ($110,077 in FY 24 and $160,778 
in FY 25), a Health Program Associate ($80,089 in FY 24 and $116,978 in 
FY 25), and a Paralegal ($82,000 in FY 24 and $112,067 in FY 25). The 
associated cost to the Office of the State Comptroller – Fringe Benefits is 
estimated at $116,541 in FY 24 and $166,922 in FY 25. There is a potential 
minimal revenue gain to the General Fund in both fiscal years from the 
issuance of civil penalties. 
This may also result in increased costs to the state associated with pay 
and coverage for nurses serving on the Staffing Committee. 
Section 2 of the amendment in not anticipated to result in a fiscal 
impact to the state in FY 24 and FY 25 as the provisions related to 
mandatory overtime do not apply to collective bargaining agreements 
in effect prior to June 1, 2027. To the extent the provisions apply in the 
out years, the state would likely incur increased staffing costs related to 
the prohibition of mandatory overtime as a regular practice.  2023SB-01067-R00LCO07571-FNA.DOCX 	Page 2 of 2
