2025 Legislative Session
Jan 20, 2025

The 2025 legislative session kicked off on January 13, 2025. This year is the full regular session and ends on April 27, 2025. As usual, we’ll provide biweekly status updates on key bills to help keep you informed, and we will soon post a tracking spreadsheet.

As in previous years, our priority this legislative session is ensuring that our latest SFY 25-27 Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is fully-funded in the operating budget. The CBA includes a modest upward adjustment to the salary grid and structural changes to ensure parity of pay regardless of hire date, among other provisions.

All committee hearings and floor activity will be streamed on TVW. There are a number of ways you can make your voice heard this session, such as testifying (in-person or remotely) at committee hearings and corresponding with the legislators who represent your district through letters, phone calls, and emails. In the coming weeks, we will be soliciting volunteers to testify on AWAAG’s behalf at committee hearings. We will also be providing training materials and talking points to assist our members in being effective advocates.

We are always on the lookout for bills which may impact our members and their divisions. If you spot proposed legislation that you believe will impact our members, please email us and we will add the bill to our watch list.  lf you want to get involved in AWAAG’s lobbying efforts this session, or if you have any suggestions regarding which bills to prioritize or other steps to make our legislative advocacy a success, please contact lobby@awaag.org.
