Special Pay Bill

Budget Highlights

In the 2024 Legislative Session, four Special Pay Bills were enacted to cover the personal service, fringe benefit, and non-personal service costs resulting from the ratification of collective bargaining agreements with four state unions. The total value of the Special Pay Bill appropriations is $291,187,212.

State agencies have drawn the requisite appropriation authority from the pay bills to cover the retroactive and current-year cost of the pay and fringe benefit increases, and the appropriation authority will continue to remain available for this pupose through the life of the appropriation.

The four enacted pay bills include:

Chapter 174 of the Laws of 2024 for Police Benevolent Association of New York State.
Chapter 175 of the Laws of 2024 for NYS Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association.
Chapter 176 of the Laws of 2024 for Council 82, Security Supervisors Unit.
Chapter 177 of the Laws of 2024 for District Council 37, Rent Regulation Sevices.
