What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits the salary for state legislators from increasing unless the

average annual salary of first-year, full-time teachers is at least equal to the salary

of state legislators. If the average annual salary of such teachers is at least equal to

the salary of state legislators, then this bill restricts increases in salaries of state

legislators to a percentage that is no greater than the percentage increase in average

salaries for first-year, full-time teachers from the immediately preceding school

year to the current school year.
