OFA Fiscal Note
See Below
The amendment establishes a task force to study the establishment of
paid sick leave tax credits for employers that employ five or less
individuals in the state. This does not result in any fiscal impact.
The amendment also requires the Labor Commissioner to ensure that
necessary wage enforcement duties and responsibilities associated with
administering paid sick leave are performed within available
appropriations for FY 25. This does not alter the fiscal impact as
identified in the underlying fiscal note.
Finally, the amendment also prohibits the Office of Policy and
Management (OPM) from applying holdbacks to personal services
expenditures for wage enforcement agents within the Department of
Labor (DOL) for FY 25. To the extent OPM would have applied such
holdbacks in FY 25, this results in (1) additional Personal Services funds
being available to DOL for that fiscal year and (2) a commensurate
amount of FY 25 holdbacks being applied against other accounts or
agencies.
