An Act further regulating the compensation of members of the General Court

This bill (HD 1692) sets new compensation rates for Massachusetts General Court members. It adds $50,000 annually for the Senate President and House Speaker, $35,000 for Ways and Means committee chairs, $30,000 for floor leaders, and $25,000 for President Pro Tempore, plus a $15,000 annual supplement for all members. It also establishes expense allowances: $12,500 for members living within 50 miles of the state house, and $17,500 for those living farther. All additional compensation amounts are adjusted biennially based on state wage changes but cannot fall below the set minimums. The bill directly affects all 200+ state legislators and their expense reimbursements.
