Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Government Code to allow the adjutant general to hire service members of the Texas Military Forces to fill newly created state military technician positions with the department as authorized by the General Appropriations Act, as extended state active duty service. Under the provisions of the bill, the service members who fill the positions would be entitled to benefits and paid leave generally provided to state employees, and the positions may or may not have a defined end date. The bill requires the department to consult with the classification officer to develop a state salary structure classification applicable to service members called to extended state active duty service. The bill would take immediate effect after receiving a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2015.
Methodology
The Texas Military Department estimates two full-time equivalent positions (FTEs) would be needed to fill state military technical positions. The total cost for the two FTEs would be $167,760 in each fiscal year for salary and benefits. TMD assumes that both positions would be Program Specialist V (Salary Group B21), which has a mid-point salary of $62,653. Associated benefits costs would be $42,454 for each fiscal year.
Technology
No technology related costs are anticipated as the result of implementing the provisions of the bill.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
