An act relating to supplemental compensation, health insurance, and retirement benefits for members of the General Assembly

This bill provides supplemental pay to Vermont General Assembly members whose household income during the legislative session falls below their pre-service income level. It also makes members eligible for the same state health insurance plan as executive branch employees (at identical cost) and allows them to join the state's Defined Contribution Retirement Plan with a matching contribution. These changes directly affect all legislators, including the Speaker and President Pro Tempore, who would receive similar supplemental payments based on income comparisons. The bill modifies existing statutes to establish these new compensation, health, and retirement benefits.
