Amends TCA Section 3-1-107; Title 4 and Title 8.

With exceptions, under present law, each member of the general assembly is paid an annual base salary of $16,500. That base salary is adjusted to reflect the average percentage pay increase provided for state employees by the general appropriations act. Any adjustment occurring during a term of the general assembly does not take effect until the election of the next general assembly.<br /> <br /> This bill adds that:<br /> <br /> (1) If the base salary of members of the general assembly is statutorily increased, then the salaries of all employees of the general assembly must be proportionally increased; and<br /> <br /> (2) If the salaries of all employees of the general assembly are decreased, then the base salary of the members of the general assembly must be proportionally decreased. Any adjustment occurring during a term of the general assembly will not take effect until the election of the next general assembly.<br /> <br />
