AN ACT INCREASING THE PER DIEM RATE FOR MEMBERS OF THE STATE BOARD OF LABOR RELATIONS AND COMPENSATION FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION.

SB 350 increases compensation for members of two Connecticut state boards. It raises the per diem rate for State Board of Labor Relations members from $150 to $300 per day and increases payments for Board of Mediation and Arbitration members from $325 to $500 per day, plus an additional $500 for preparing written decisions. The bill also increases payments for panel session attendance from $200 to $300 per member. These changes take effect October 1, 2026, directly affecting the state board members who serve on these labor dispute resolution bodies.
