OFFICE OF FISCAL ANALYSIS Legislative Office Building, Room 5200 Hartford, CT 06106 (860) 240-0200 http://www.cga.ct.gov/ofa SB-1067 AN ACT CONCERNING ADEQUATE AND SAFE HEALTH CARE STAFFING. AMENDMENT LCO No.: 7571 File Copy No.: 465 Senate Calendar No.: 270 Primary Analyst: ES 5/9/23 Contributing Analyst(s): SB, RDP (FN) OFA Fiscal Note See Fiscal Note Details 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 The preceding Fiscal Impact statement is prepared for the benefit of the members of the General Assembly, solely for the purposes of information, summarization and explanation and does not represent the intent of the General Assembly or either chamber thereof for any purpose.
