Bill > HB2674

This bill creates the Statewide Official Compensation Commission, which will be composed of the same members as the Board on Legislative Compensation and authorized to meet only on the same dates as that board. The commission will be responsible for setting salaries for nine key state elected officials, including the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and others, with a crucial provision that salaries cannot be set lower than the amounts in effect as of January 1, 2025. The bill specifies that the commission must set salaries for each official's term of office beginning on or after their meeting date, and prohibits modifying salaries in a way that would violate the state constitution. The existing law detailing specific salary amounts for these officials will be repealed, effectively giving the new commission sole authority to determine compensation. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, with the repealer section becoming effective on January 31, 2030, ensuring a smooth transition of salary-setting authority to the new commission while maintaining existing salary levels as a baseline.
