What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, representatives to the assembly and senators may receive allowances for transportation expenses for travel to and from the state capitol once every week during a legislative session, and per diem allowances for food and lodging during a session of the legislature, but none is payable during a recess of the legislature for 30 days or more unless approved by a joint resolution adopted by both houses. The allowances are payable once per month.
This bill prohibits payment for these allowances during the period beginning 90 days after the enactment of a biennial budget act that contains any increase in compensation for public employees and ending on the date the Joint Committee on Employment Relations takes action on the increase. Under the bill, the allowances accrued during such a period are to be paid in a timely manner following action by JCOER.
