What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, the salaries of the governor, the lieutenant governor, the secretary

of state, the state treasurer, the attorney general, the superintendent of public

instruction, state senators and representatives to the assembly, supreme court

justices, court of appeals judges, and circuit court judges are fixed upon

recommendation of the director of the Office of State Employment Relations and

approval of the Joint Committee on Employment Relations (JCOER) in the same

manner that salaries for nonrepresented employees in the state classified service are

established.

Under this bill, any proposal to adjust the salaries of these state elected

officials, upon approval by JCOER using the current law salary-setting process,

must also be submitted by JCOER to the legislature in the form of a bill. If the bill

is enacted, the adjustment takes effect. If the bill is not enacted, no adjustment takes

effect unless JCOER submits another bill and that bill is enacted.
