HB 130 Alaska House · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to flexible time credit for classified employees in the executive branch who are not eligible for overtime compensation.

HB 130 creates a "flexible time credit" system for executive branch classified employees in Alaska who are not eligible for overtime pay. It allows these employees to earn paid time off for hours worked beyond their standard workweek, accruing in 15-minute increments. The time credit has no cash value and is forfeited if the employee leaves state service, excluding hours covered by special pay plans for extended on-site work. This policy directly affects non-overtime-eligible state workers in executive branch roles, replacing overtime compensation with flexible paid time off.

MINOR

This bill was amended from its original introduction to a committee substitute version, shifting the session date from the First to the Second Session and moving the bill from the State Affairs and Finance committees to the Rules Committee. The primary substantive change involves adding specific dispute resolution and approval processes to the flexible time credit policy, requiring supervisors to have the authority to approve or deny requests for using accrued time.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on classified employees in the executive branch not eligible for overtime, but the applicability of the new dispute resolution rules now explicitly covers both employer policies and collective bargaining agreements.

REQUIREMENT

Added a requirement that policies or collective bargaining agreements regarding flexible time credits must include a method for resolving disputes and a process for supervisors to approve or deny requests to use the accrued time.

TIMELINE

Updated the legislative session reference from the Thirty-Fourth Legislature - First Session to the Thirty-Fourth Legislature - Second Session, and changed the introduction date to reflect the new session timeline.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bill identifier from 'HB 130' to 'CSHB 130(STA)' to reflect that it is a committee substitute version prepared by the House State Affairs Committee.
