Fiscal Detail and Notes
In the event of a future shutdown of State Government, this bill requires the salary of all Legislators to be reduced by an amount that is proportional to the length of a shutdown.  The estimated potential reduction per day per Legislator would be approximately $100 based on current legislative salaries.  This amount would be reduced from salaries paid during the Second Regular Session following a shutdown.
