JRS 28 Vermont Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Joint resolution relating to compensation of Members of the General Assembly during the remainder of the 2023 Biennial Session

This bill adjusts how Vermont state legislators are paid for the remainder of the 2023 legislative session. Instead of receiving weekly compensation, lawmakers will be paid a daily rate equal to one-fourth of their standard weekly pay for each day their legislative chamber meets and they attend. The resolution also limits members to no more than four days of compensation per week. This change applies to all Members of the General Assembly and aims to provide reasonable pay while preserving state funds during the session's final days.
