Department of Public Safety; revise salary schedule of MHP and MBN officers.

Salary rates for all ranks were increased significantly, with base salaries starting at $54,000 for entry-level positions and reaching up to $142,750 for colonels, compared to previous lower rates.

New detailed job classification mappings were added to link each rank (Trooper, Corporal, Sergeant, etc.) to specific State Personnel Board job classes for both the Highway Patrol and Bureau of Narcotics.

Added requirement that the Department of Public Safety must file data with the Legislative Budget Office and State Fiscal Officer to budget funds for officer salaries according to the new scale.

Added provision allowing the State Personnel Board to revise the salary scale in future years if the Legislature provides across-the-board salary increases to state employees.

Effective date changed to July 1, 2026, with repeal on June 30, 2026, indicating this is a temporary or transitional provision for the 2026 fiscal year.
