Public employees and officers: state; salary recommendations for the heads of the principal departments in the executive branch; provide for. Amends 1986 PA 268 (MCL 4.1101 - 4.1901) by adding sec. 751.

This bill creates a new system for recommending salaries for the heads of Michigan's principal executive departments. It requires both majority and minority party leaders in the state legislature to appoint unpaid panelists who will evaluate department heads on their work quality and cost-effectiveness. These panelists will submit ratings to the House fiscal agency, which will use a specific formula based on those scores and the governor's current salary to calculate recommended pay amounts. The final salary recommendations will be sent to key legislative leaders and the governor for consideration.
