What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
