Bill > SB1520

This bill requires that the Governor's salary be the highest salary set by the Statewide Official Compensation Commission, which is comprised of the same individuals as the Board on Legislative Compensation. The Commission is responsible for setting salaries for various elected state officials, including the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, State Auditor and Inspector, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Insurance Commissioner, Commissioner of Labor, and members of the Corporation Commission, ensuring no salary is set lower than the January 1, 2025 rate. Importantly, any salary recommendations made by the Commission will only take effect if approved by a joint resolution of the Legislature, which can approve or deny recommendations in whole or in part, but must ensure the Governor's salary remains the highest among the listed officials. This act is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
