Eliminates dual governmental pay to members of Legislature for legislative duties.
This bill changes a state law to require legislators who hold local government jobs (county or municipal positions) to take unpaid leave when performing legislative duties, rather than receiving paid time off. It directly affects state legislators employed by local governments who currently receive full pay from their local job while attending legislative sessions. The key provision amends existing law to replace "time off without loss of pay" with "approved leave of absence without pay" for legislative attendance. This eliminates the practice of legislators collecting dual pay for the same work period.
