SB 1657: Modifies provisions relating to the Board of Police Commissioners

SB 1657 modifies how city police departments set salaries and funding. It gives boards of police commissioners authority to set officer salaries without legislative approval (minimum current pay), requires cities to fund police at 22% of general revenue in 2025 rising to 25% by 2028, and details overtime pay rules (1.5x for hours over 40). The bill directly affects city police departments, their boards, and officers through changes to compensation structures, funding obligations, and benefit provisions like health insurance and shift differentials. Key mechanisms include mandatory minimum funding percentages, standardized overtime rates, and new allowances for academic achievement or training roles.

HB 3386: Modifies provisions relating to the expenditure of moneys in certain funds by the Department of Natural Resources

HB 3386 creates the "Natural Resources Protection Fund" in the state treasury to hold pollution-related fees, including air and water permit fees, and new 5% of electric power sales tax revenue. It designates specific subaccounts for air pollution control (funded permanently by the tax transfer starting July 2027) and water pollution administration. The bill changes how unspent funds are handled: balances exceeding prior collections no longer revert to general revenue after 2027, and all interest accrues to the fund. These funds, subject to legislative appropriation, directly support the Department of Natural Resources' pollution control programs and enforcement under relevant statutes.
