LFT supports the spirit of the bill. However, the funding for the permanent salary increase is not part of a MFP resolution and lacks the guardrails the MFP provides. LFT has worked with the Governor's office on amendments to address this and testified before several committees urging them to be aware of the unintended consequences if the bill's loopholes are not addressed.
Your immediate action is crucial to ensure HB 5 properly protects your permanent salary increase. While this bill promises to convert your one-time stipend into permanent pay, several important safeguards are missing. We need you to contact your senator TODAY.
