REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO RESEARCH IMPLEMENTING A LAW TO REQUIRE LEGISLATOR SALARIES TO BE TIED TO MEDIAN TEACHER SALARIES.

HR 83 is a House Resolution requesting the Auditor to study implementing a law that would tie Hawaii legislators' base salaries to the median salary of licensed teachers. It asks the Auditor to research how such a law could work, including examining other jurisdictions with similar policies, and to report findings to the Legislature by late 2025. The resolution does not change salaries but seeks research on aligning legislative pay with teacher compensation as a symbolic and practical measure. This would directly affect how legislators are paid, though no current law requires this. The resolution is procedural and does not enact policy changes itself.
