  • Section 4(a.1)

    Beginning December 1, 2020, the salary of members of the General Assembly shall be $25,000 per annum and no health care benefits, retirement benefits, insurance benefits or other employee benefits or compensation, including compensation provided under subsections (a) and (b), shall be allowed, except that actual expenses may be reimbursable to an individual member upon the receipt of documentation of the expense and each member of the General Assembly shall receive an allocation for clerical assistance and other expenses incurred during the member's term in connection with the duties of the member's office. The salary shall be payable in equal monthly installments the first day of the month, including the installment due December 1 of each even-numbered year.
