A bill to authorize a program that rewards state employees for
economies in state spending; and to prescribe the powers and duties
of certain state departments and agencies.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the
"efficient spending rewards act".
Sec. 2. As used in this act:
(a) "Amount appropriated" means a line-item appropriation.
(b) "Employee" means an employee of the executive branch of
state government.
Sec. 3. (1) The civil service commission may establish by rule
and administer a program to encourage efficient and economical use
of state funds, in which 30% of savings, calculated as the
difference between the amount appropriated for particular purposes
and the amount actually spent in the fiscal period, is distributed
to the employees in the administering agency.
(2) The amount of the savings distributed to each employee in
the administering agency shall be calculated and allocated using a
point system. Points shall be assigned to each employee equal to
the number of the employee's civil service classification grade or
the equivalent classification grade for an unclassified employee
plus the employee's number of years of service. The total number of
points for all employees in the administering agency shall be
divided into 30% of the total agency savings to determine the
dollars distributed per point per employee.
