An Act amending the act of September 30, 1983 (P.L.160, No.39), known as the Public Official Compensation Law, further providing for judicial salaries, for compensation of Governor and Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, Auditor General, Attorney General, Commissioners of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and heads of departments and for members of the General Assembly.

HB 2211 ends automatic annual cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for Pennsylvania public officials after specific dates. It stops future COLAs for judges (effective January 1, 2026), the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, Auditor General, Attorney General, department heads, and General Assembly members (effective November 30, 2025). The bill amends existing law to replace the current CPI-U-based COLA mechanism with a fixed end date for these adjustments. This change applies to all affected officials whose compensation was previously tied to the Consumer Price Index for the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Delaware-Maryland area.
