Pay progression caps; deputy and assistant district attorneys, assistant state public defenders, and assistant attorneys general
Under current law, there are pay progression plans for deputy and assistant district attorneys, assistant state public defenders, and assistant attorneys general. These pay progression plans consist of 17 hourly salary steps, with each step equal to one-seventeenth of the difference between the lowest hourly salary and the highest hourly salary for the salary range, and are based entirely on merit. However, current law caps the annual salary adjustment that a deputy or assistant district attorney, assistant state public defender, or assistant attorney general may receive under the respective pay progression plans to no more than 10 percent of the individual's base pay.
Under the bill, the 10 percent cap on annual salary adjustments for deputy and assistant district attorneys, assistant state public defenders, and assistant attorneys general does not apply during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 fiscal years.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
