A001 - Salary Setting for Elected Officials
The Citizens' Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials sets the salaries of the elected officials in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of state government. The salary setting process begins with the adoption of a proposed salary schedule upon which the public is invited to comment. Following a series of public hearings and work sessions, a biennial salary schedule is adopted, filed with the Secretary of State, and becomes law 90 days after filing, unless overturned by voter referendum.
