An act relating to increasing legislator compensation and benefits beginning in the 2033–34 biennium

This Vermont bill, H 236, increases compensation and benefits for General Assembly members starting in the 2033-34 legislative biennium. The legislation requires the state to pay the full premium for health insurance for legislators, matching the coverage provided to other state employees. Additionally, it mandates that the weekly salary for Assembly members be doubled on January 1, 2033, with future adjustments tied to compensation increases for other constitutional officers. The bill also establishes that Speaker of the House and President Pro Tempore of the Senate receive the same compensation increases as regular members. These changes apply to all elected legislators and take effect over a multi-year timeline beginning in 2033.
