Joint Order, Regarding The Compensation Of Members Of The 132Nd Legislature

This bill establishes a new payment schedule for Maine legislators' compensation, requiring 12 biweekly payments starting January 15, 2025. It directly affects all members of the Maine Senate and House of Representatives by changing when they receive their statutory compensation as advances. The payments will be based on lists certified by the Senate President and House Speaker to the State Controller. The bill does not alter the total compensation amount, only the timing of payments. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences as required.)
