Letter dated April 24, 2025, transmitting a proposed conference draft amending H.B. No. 1027, H.D. 1, S.D. 1 to fund the tentative agreement concerning Collective Bargaining Units 1 and 10.

This bill (GM 12) appropriates specific funding to implement a collective bargaining agreement for two state employee groups: Unit 1 (Blue Collar Employees) and Unit 10 (Institutional, Health, and Correctional Workers). It allocates detailed sums across General, Special, Federal, and other funds for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to cover salaries, fringe benefits, and related costs. The bill explicitly includes separate funding amounts for the Department of Education and the Administration (JUD 601) within the overall appropriation. This is a procedural funding measure to legally authorize the costs of the ratified agreement, not a policy change.
