Memorandum


Please identify any areas of vagueness, technical defects, reasons a bill would not have a fiscal impact, and/or any special issues not captured elsewhere on this form. If “onetime” is intended as a bonus rather than a true salary increase, then the fiscal note would be for a total of $12,539,220 since it would not be pensionable and PEIA Reserve Transfer would not be affected. This “bonus” increase would only be applicable to FY2023.
