Bill Summary · HB 2357

Overview: HB 2357, Establishing a state patrol longevity bonus, effective date 6/6/2024, introduced on February 03, 2025.

Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to establish a longevity bonus program for members of the state patrol. The goal is to recognize and reward long-serving state patrol officers for their dedication and experience.

Key Provisions:
- Provides a longevity bonus of $500 per year of service for state patrol officers with 10 or more years of experience
- Bonus payments will be made annually on the officer's service anniversary date
- Eligibility is limited to commissioned officers of the state patrol, excluding civilian employees

Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would directly benefit long-serving state patrol officers by providing them with additional financial compensation. This could help with retention and morale within the state patrol. The state government would incur the costs of the bonus program, which are estimated to be approximately $2 million per year.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been introduced and is currently awaiting further legislative action. If passed, the longevity bonus program would take effect on June 6, 2024.
