An act relating to legislative pay

H.854 modifies Vermont legislators' pay based on when the regular legislative session ends. It ensures members receive full salary if the session concludes before the first Friday in May. If the session extends beyond that date, members get only expense reimbursement for up to three weeks past May 1, and no pay or reimbursement for longer sessions. This directly affects all Vermont General Assembly members by tying their compensation to session timing rather than calendar dates. The bill amends existing pay statutes to create this incentive structure.
