State government; requiring that the Governor's salary be the highest salary set by certain Commission. Effective date.

SB 1520 requires Oklahoma's Statewide Official Compensation Commission to set the Governor's salary as the highest among nine specific state officials (including Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and others) for any term starting after the Commission sets the salary. The Commission must set all these salaries annually but cannot set any official's pay above the Governor's, and all salary recommendations require legislative approval via joint resolution. This bill directly affects the compensation of those nine elected state officials by establishing a mandatory pay hierarchy and adding legislative oversight. The bill becomes effective November 1, 2026.
