Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 2492 amends Government Code provisions relating to the state employee incentive program, to allow a state agency to transfer savings attributable to an employee or employee group suggestion from the first year of a fiscal biennium to the second. The bill eliminates program eligibility for elected or appointed officials. It clarifies the eligibility of an agency employee who is temporarily assigned to a group to develop process improvements. The bill raises from $100 to $500 the minimum savings or revenue increase for which an employee award or employee group bonus may be paid. A conforming change makes certificates of appreciation applicable below the $500 amount.
