An act relating to compensation for the Governor and the heads of departments and agencies

This bill proposes to set the annual salaries for Vermont's Governor and heads of state departments and agencies at the same level as members of the General Assembly, excluding the Speaker of the House and President Pro Tempore of the Senate. It amends state law to establish specific salary amounts for these positions as of July 2, 2023, and allows for annual salary adjustments based on collective bargaining agreements for appointed executive officers. The legislation also sets salary caps for certain positions, such as limiting the Defender General's compensation to match the Attorney General's and restricting the Commissioner of Health's maximum salary to 100 percent above their base salary.
