relative to the joint committee on employee classification.

SB 427 revises salary ranges for specific unclassified state employee positions, primarily affecting medical examiners, corrections facility wardens, and fire safety directors. The bill updates salary brackets - such as raising the chief medical examiner's range from $210,000-$300,000 to $210,000-$350,000 - based on recommendations from the Joint Committee on Employee Classification. It does not create new positions or provide new funding, instead adjusting existing pay structures using current budget resources. The changes take effect July 1, 2026, and apply to roles identified in the bill’s amendments to state law.
