Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Office of the State Auditor to reclassify certain positions within the Department of Public Safety from "Salary Schedule B" to "Salary Schedule C" of the General Appropriations Act. This bill would take effect upon a two-thirds vote of all members of both chambers; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2013.
Methodology
The bill would increase salaries of certain Department of Public Safety (DPS) law enforcement officers by reclassifying them one salary grade higher than their current salary grade. Costs for DPS officers were calculated by the Legislative Budget Board for each affected position and time in service tier by multiplying the increased salary amount times the number of officers in that position and tier. Then amounts were totaled across all positions and service tiers to get a total salary increase. This was increased by 18.75% for overtime, and increases for Social Security and ERS retirement contributions were added. The estimated fiscal impact to DPS in fiscal years 2014-18 is $27,663,610 in each fiscal year. The total estimated DPS cost over a five-year period is $138,318,050. The method of finance is State Highway Fund 06.
