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