Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Requiring employees of State Government to contribute one-half of the 1% assessment on employee wages to finance the payment of benefits as well as administrative costs under the paid family and medical leave benefits program will reduce the General Fund cost of the bill by approximately $2.30 million in fiscal year 2025-26 and $2.39 million in fiscal year 2026-27. Savings to the Highway Fund are estimated to be 0.38 million in fiscal year 2025-26 and 0.40 million in fiscal year 2026-27. The baseline budget in LD 609 assumes that State will pay the full 1% assessment in 2026-2027 biennium. Savings in other funds that support position costs are estimated to be $1.88 million in fiscal year 2025-26 and $1.96 million in fiscal year 2026-27.
