AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Official Compensation Law to adjust the end date for automatic annual cost-of-living increases for certain public officials. Specifically, it extends the period during which judicial salaries can be increased by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), a measure of inflation, until January 1, 2026, and similarly extends these cost-of-living adjustments for the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, Auditor General, Attorney General, Commissioners of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, heads of departments, and members of the General Assembly until November 30, 2025. The CPI-U is a widely used economic indicator reported by the U.S. Department of Labor that tracks the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.
