H 215 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to the compensation of members of the General Assembly and the Governor

This bill sets Vermont legislators' pay at the state's median wage, calculated annually by the Department of Labor. It also allows legislators to join state employee health insurance and retirement programs. Additionally, it caps the Governor's salary at 21 times the lowest salary paid to an elected state officer each year. The bill directly affects all members of Vermont's General Assembly and the Governor. It changes how their compensation and benefits are structured, moving away from fixed rates toward state-wide wage benchmarks.
