Relating to the monthly amount of longevity pay for state employees.

HB 803 increases the monthly longevity pay for Texas state employees from $20 to $50 for every two years of lifetime service credit. This change directly affects state employees who earn longevity pay based on their years of service. The bill amends Section 659.044(a) of the Government Code to reflect this new pay rate, which takes effect September 1, 2025. The legislation makes a specific, concrete adjustment to the existing pay calculation formula without altering eligibility or other program details.
