AI Summary
This bill updates the compensation for various state government officials in Pennsylvania, specifically adjusting the annual salaries for the Governor ($125,000), Lieutenant Governor ($105,000), and several department heads. The bill makes several notable changes, including renaming the Department of Public Welfare to the Department of Human Services, adding "and Securities" to the Banking Secretary's title, and establishing that the State Police Commissioner will now receive an annual salary equivalent to the Secretary of Corrections. The salaries for other department heads range from $90,000 to $100,000, depending on the specific role, with positions like the Secretary of Education, Environmental Protection, Health, Labor and Industry, and Corrections receiving $100,000 annually. These changes aim to standardize and potentially adjust compensation for top state government leadership positions, with the new salary structure set to take effect 60 days after the bill's passage.
