Bill > HR3

This resolution authorizes the Speaker of the House of Delegates to appoint employees for the First Regular Session of the 87th Legislature, detailing specific staffing and compensation provisions. The resolution outlines two categories of employee compensation: per diem employees (such as Legislative Assistants, Clerks, Attorneys, and Pages) with daily rates ranging from $115 to $450, and full-time salaried employees with annual salaries ranging from $35,900 to $130,200 for various roles including Chief Clerk, Committee Counsels, Analysts, and Administrative Assistants. The Speaker is granted broad discretionary powers to appoint, assign, and remove employees, determine their duties and compensation, and adjust staffing as needed during and after the legislative session. The resolution also includes important restrictions, such as prohibiting employees from simultaneously receiving compensation from other state government departments and barring early retirees from appointment. Additionally, the resolution authorizes the Clerk of the House to draw requisitions for travel expenses and compensation, and suspends any conflicting provisions of House Rule 9 to facilitate the implementation of these staffing arrangements.
