An Act amending the act of September 30, 1983 (P.L.160, No.39), known as the Public Official Compensation Law, further providing for members of the General Assembly.

Pennsylvania House Bill 2725 amends the Public Official Compensation Law to allow members of the General Assembly and legislative officers or leaders to voluntarily opt out of automatic annual cost-of-living adjustments. If a legislator chooses this option, their salary remains fixed at the level established when they were last elected for the duration of that term. The decision must be made within specific deadlines, such as during November of the election year for general members or within 30 days of appointment for officers, and cannot be reversed once finalized. The bill requires the Chief Clerks of both legislative chambers to create a standardized form for this process, ensuring that any legislator who does not submit the form will continue to receive standard inflation-based pay increases.
