SB236

Allow longevity payments for county detention officers

Complete·4/16/25

Montana SB236 allows county detention officers to receive longevity payments similar to deputy sheriffs and undersheriffs.

Montana SB236 revises county detention officer salaries by allowing them to receive longevity payments. These payments, amounting to 1% of the minimum base annual salary for each year of service, are made in equal monthly installments. The bill ensures that these payments are unaffected by any changes to the discretionary salary. Additionally, SB236 modifies existing laws to prioritize the provisions for undersheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and detention officers, superseding certain unfunded mandate laws.
