Summary

The bill authorizes the Secretary of Budget and Management to exempt chief financial officer (CFO) positions from the state pay plan to help recruit and retain talent. It also sets qualification standards for CFOs, requires detailed financial reporting to the Comptroller, and mandates documentation to the Board of Public Works when a unit chooses not to pursue liquidated damages. The changes apply to large executive‑branch agencies that receive at least $2 billion a year.
