Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Government Code by requiring the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to extend the career ladder for correctional officers and provide for correctional officer salary increases based on the officers classification and years of service with TDCJ. The bill extends the existing correctional officer career ladder to include a correctional officer VI position.

The bill extends the existing correctional officer career ladder to include a correctional officer VI position.
Methodology
The Department of Criminal Justice estimates the correctional officer salary increases to be $17.4 million annually. The salary increase would include a 4% increase to correctional officers with over ten years of service and would include the necessary salary adjustments to ranking correctional officers to avoid salary compression issues. Approximately 10,000 correctional officers would receive a salary increase of $1,385 annually. The bill would take effect September 1, 2009.
