SUPPLEMENTAL PAY: Provides supplemental pay to persons employed by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections as a probation or parole officer (OR +$6,264,000 GF EX See Note)

This bill proposes to provide an additional $6,000 annually in state funding to probation and parole officers within the Department of Public Safety and Corrections. To qualify for this extra compensation, officers must be full-time employees earning at least $800 per month, have completed a certified training program, and have at least one year of service, which can include prior experience as a deputy sheriff. The payment of $600 per month is contingent upon a future constitutional amendment regarding the state budget being approved by voters.
