Authorizes pay increases for certain employees of the general assembly with college degrees

HB 3431 would provide pay increases to certain General Assembly staff members who hold college degrees. Specifically, it requires a 3% pay increase for staff with a bachelor's degree and a 6% increase for those with a master's or doctoral degree, based on their highest earned degree. The bill applies to roles like legislator assistants, policy directors, and chiefs of staff, and only the highest degree held qualifies for the increase. This is a procedural pay adjustment bill with no additional policy changes.
