Bill Summary
Amending the act of September 30, 1983 (P.L.160, No.39), entitled "An act establishing salaries and compensation of certain public officials including justices and judges of Statewide courts, judges of courts of common pleas, judges of the Philadelphia Municipal Court, judges of the Philadelphia Traffic Court, district justices and the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the State Treasurer, the Auditor General, the Attorney General and certain other State officers and the salary and certain expenses of the members of the General Assembly; and repealing certain inconsistent acts," further providing for compensation of Governor and Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, Auditor General, Attorney General, Commissioners of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and heads of departments and for members of the General Assembly.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the existing Public Official Compensation Law to adjust cost-of-living (COL) increases for state government officials, specifically the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, Auditor General, Attorney General, department heads, and members of the General Assembly. The bill adds two key provisions limiting COL adjustments: first, no COL increase will be allowed for the period from January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, and second, no COL increase will be permitted in any year when a general appropriation act (the state budget) has not been enacted into law by July 1 of the prior year. These changes apply to both the salaries of top state officials and the compensation of General Assembly members, including additional compensation for legislative leaders. The bill requires that any changes to COL adjustments be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, ensuring transparency about potential salary modifications. The purpose appears to be to create financial accountability by tying official salary increases to the timely completion of the state budget. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
