Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the legislative law, in relation to compensation of members of the legislature
AI Summary
This bill modifies the existing legislative law regarding the payment of salaries for New York state legislators. Currently, legislators receive an annual salary of $142,000, paid in 26 bi-weekly installments. The proposed change addresses years when a pay period falls on January 1st, in which case legislators will instead receive 27 bi-weekly payments. This adjustment means that in such years, legislators will receive an extra paycheck, effectively spreading their annual salary across an additional pay period. The bill also maintains the existing provision that salary payments can be withheld if the legislative budget is not passed prior to the start of a fiscal year. The modification is relatively narrow in scope, focusing specifically on pay distribution in years with a unique payroll calendar configuration. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
