LEGISLATIVE COMPENSATION – States findings of the Legislature and provides that individual legislative members may donate all or a portion of their compensation to the tax relief fund.
HCR 4 is a concurrent resolution allowing Idaho legislators to voluntarily donate all or part of their annual salary ($25,000 base) to the state's Tax Relief Fund (established under Idaho Code §57-811). It directly affects Idaho state legislators who choose to redirect their compensation, rather than changing their pay rate. The resolution explains the recent salary increase (from $19,913 to $25,000) and notes legislators may opt to return funds to taxpayers via the existing Tax Relief Fund. It does not require donations or alter legislative pay structure, only provides a voluntary option for members who wish to contribute.
