EXECUTIVE & GA PAY RAISES

HB 2943 removes salary increases established by Public Act 102-1115 from Illinois' Salaries Act and General Assembly Compensation Act. It reverts executive branch salaries (including the Governor's $205,700 minimum and other officials' set amounts) and legislator pay (from $85,000 for the 103rd General Assembly to $28,000) back to amounts set by the Compensation Review Board. This directly affects all statewide elected officials (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, Attorney General) and Illinois General Assembly members. The bill cancels the higher pay rates that took effect January 9, 2023.
