What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The constitution prohibits increases or decreases in the compensation of a

public officer during the term for which he or she was elected, with certain

exceptions. This constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2009 legislature on first

consideration, deletes the prohibition against decreases in compensation during the

term for which an officer was elected.

A constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive legislatures,

and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
