Bill > HB1060

This bill amends the General Assembly Compensation Act to allow members of the Illinois General Assembly to transfer a portion of their authorized office allowance to another member. Specifically, each member of the House of Representatives is currently authorized to spend up to $179,000 per year, and each Senator up to $214,000 per year, for various expenses including personal services, contractual services, commodities, printing, travel, and legislative assistant compensation. These amounts are subject to annual increases based on the Employment Cost Index, not to exceed 5%. The bill clarifies that members can now transfer some of their allocated funds to another member, enabling more flexible use of their office allowance. This change provides additional administrative flexibility for legislators in managing their office expenses and potentially allows for more efficient use of allocated funds within the General Assembly.
