House Bill 329
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR AN INCREASE IN THE ANNUAL COMPENSATION OF INVESTIGATORS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE; TO DIRECT THE STATE PERSONNEL BOARD TO ENSURE THAT CERTAIN INVESTIGATORS RECEIVE THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE SALARY INCREASE; TO DIRECT THE APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE SALARY INCREASES; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI:
SECTION 1. (1) The State Personnel Board shall adjust the Colonel Guy Groff State Variable Compensation Plan in a manner that will effectuate an increase in the annual compensation of each investigator employed by the Attorney General's Office by an amount equal to Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00), effective on July 1, 2017.
(2) If any investigator is unable to receive the full amount of the salary increase provided for in this section because to award the entire allowable increase would cause that investigator's base salary to exceed the end step of his or her particular job classification, the State Personnel Board shall amend the Variable Compensation Plan by increasing the end step of that particular job classification. The increase shall be in an amount necessary to enable all investigators in that particular job classification to be eligible to receive the full salary increase to which they are entitled under this section.
SECTION 2. The Legislature shall appropriate the funds necessary to provide for the increases in compensation provided for in this act.
SECTION 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after July 1, 2017.
