The salary increase applies to part-time employees hired pursuant to Section 658.009, Government Code.

These provisions do not apply to the Texas Department of Insurance.

C.S.S.B. 30 establishes that it is the legislature's intent that if the bill becomes effective after July 1, 2023, the salary increase should be calculated for the month of July at a percentage that yields a 5.0 percent increase in each employee position's salary for the month of July compared to the employee position's salary for the month of June. The amount of a salary increase provided by the bill may not be considered in determining the amount of a salary increase provided in H.B. 1, Acts of the 88th Legislature, Regular Session, 2023 (the General Appropriations Act), and may not be considered in determining an employee's classification under the Classification Salary Schedules listed in Section 2.01, Article IX, Chapter 1053 (S.B. 1), Acts of the 87th Legislature, Regular Session, 2021 (the General Appropriations Act).
