HD 4314 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act requiring the department of the state auditor to certify compliance as a prerequisite for additional compensation for a member of the General Court

HD 4314 requires state legislators to receive a certification from the state auditor confirming they have met all audit-related requests before receiving additional pay or expense allowances. Currently, members of the General Court (state legislators) can claim extra compensation under Section 9B and expense allowances under Section 9C. The bill adds a new rule: the auditor must certify compliance with all requests made under Chapter 11, Section 12 before these payments are issued. This directly affects all state lawmakers eligible for these benefits, tying their compensation to audit cooperation.
