Bill Summary

An Act amending sections 15-251, 41-101, 41-121.01, 41-171, 41-191, 41-1103, 41-1903 and 41-1904, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to executive officer salaries.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to modify the salaries of several Arizona state executive officers beginning January 1, 2027, by linking their compensation to the median household income for a family of four in Arizona, as determined annually by the American Community Survey (ACS). Specifically, the bill would set salaries as a multiplier of the median household income: the governor's salary would be 1.23 times the median, the superintendent of public instruction would receive 1.10 times the median, the secretary of state and state treasurer would each receive 0.91 times the median, the attorney general would receive 1.17 times the median, and legislators would receive 0.33 times the median. The bill also removes the existing statutory provisions for salary determination by the state compensation commission for these specific offices and makes several minor technical changes to gender-specific language in the referenced statutes. The implementation of these salary changes is contingent upon a concurrent amendment to the Arizona Constitution, which would be subject to voter approval at the next general election.
