Bill Summary
A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the state constitution of 1963, by amending section 31 of article IV, section 18 of article V, and section 17 of article IX, to require certain state budget bills to be enacted into law on or before a certain date and to suspend the compensation of state legislators and the governor if those state budget bills are not enacted on or before that date.
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the state constitution that would require the legislature to pass all general appropriation bills (state budget bills) by a specific date each year, which is defined by the Management and Budget Act. If these budget bills are not enacted by the applicable date, both state legislators and the governor would have their salaries suspended until the budget bills are passed. The resolution adds new provisions to three sections of the state constitution, specifying that the suspension of salary applies to the compensation received for their official service. The proposed amendment defines key terms like "applicable date" and "enacted" and ensures that the state's budget process has a clear deadline, with financial consequences for legislators and the governor if they fail to complete the budget on time. This constitutional amendment aims to incentivize timely budget completion and provide more fiscal accountability in the state government.
