Requires use of direct deposit and Internet for State, local government, and school district employee compensation and certain retirement payments and information.
This bill requires all state, local government, and school district employees to receive their pay via mandatory direct deposit into a bank account they designate, eliminating paper checks. It also mandates that retirement payments for public employees retiring after the effective date must be paid directly into a designated bank account. All pay and retirement information - including details about compensation and payments - must be accessible only through a secure online portal with restricted access, protecting confidentiality. The changes take effect January 1st following the bill's enactment.
