Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to provide a $1,000 pay increase for full time adult protective service workers.
The Department estimates the fiscal impact of this legislation to be $75,296 ($45,931 state dollars). Although the legislation does not explicitly state that Adult Protective Service (APS) Worker Trainees are included, the Department assumed that since they are direct APS workers they are to be included and therefore the calculation includes both Adult Protective Service Workers and Adult Protective Service Worker Trainees.
Although the bill indicates an additional $1,000 shall be paid annually, the Department assumed this was a one-time base building salary increase.
