A bill for an act relating to salaries and allowances of state elected officials, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

SF 544 sets annual salaries and cost-of-living adjustments for Iowa's state elected officials, including legislators, the governor, lieutenant governor, and statewide officeholders. It establishes a base salary of $45,000 for regular legislative members (with higher rates for leadership roles like speaker and president pro tempore) and $230,000 for the governor, all effective in 2027. Salaries will adjust annually based on the cost-of-living raises for executive branch noncontract state employees or 3%, whichever is lower, through 2042. The bill directly affects all state-elected officials covered by the compensation structure.
