An Act to Reform and Regulate Legislative Stipends

H 5010 establishes a new system for legislative stipends tied to committee performance and leadership roles. It creates four leadership groups (Groups 1-4) with defined compensation levels: Group 1 (top leaders) gets up to 75% of base pay, Groups 2-3 get up to 50% or 33%, and Group 4 (committee chairs) gets up to 33%. Additional pay for committee members depends on whether their committees meet public hearing and markup session deadlines ("compliance"), with compensation adjusted based on the committee compliance percentage. The bill directly affects all state legislators serving in designated leadership or committee roles, linking their stipends to measurable committee transparency requirements.
