Bill Summary

Effective immediately.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Compensation Review Act to prohibit members of the Illinois General Assembly from receiving cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) to their compensation in fiscal year 2026 and subsequent years. Specifically, the bill overrides any previous provisions, laws, Compensation Review Board reports, or General Assembly resolutions that would have authorized automatic salary increases based on cost-of-living calculations. The reference to Senate Joint Resolution 192 of the 86th General Assembly suggests this is part of a broader effort to control legislative compensation. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, meaning the COLA prohibition would apply starting in fiscal year 2026. By preventing automatic salary increases, the legislation aims to demonstrate fiscal restraint and potentially respond to public sentiment about legislative compensation.
