BILL NUMBER:S3210
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the legislative law, in relation to
creating a cost of living adjustment to be applied to the salaries of
members of the legislature
PURPOSE: To adjust the salaries of members of the legislature in
congruence with the cost of living adjustment.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. creates a new section of the legislative law to alter the
salaries of members of the Legislature based upon the increases or
decreases in the median household income for the state for the preceding
two year period.
JUSTIFICATION: This bill ties the salaries of members of the legisla-
ture with the economic growth of the state. Consequently, this bill
incentivizes the members of the legislature to promote policies that
increase the median household income. This bill is modeled after the
Article 118 of the Massachusetts Constitution which mandates that
members of the state legislature receive wage increases.
