State employee salaries; direct State Personnel Board to implement across-the-board increase.

SB 2374 would have required Mississippi's State Personnel Board to implement a 6% annual salary increase for all full-time state employees funded by the State General Fund, starting July 1, 2025, with part-time employees receiving a proportional increase based on their hours. The bill directed the Board to amend the state's Variable Compensation Plan to include this across-the-board raise. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted into law. It would have directly affected thousands of state workers whose pay is covered by general fund appropriations.
