Panel reports favorably on bill to subject governor and lieutenant governor pay to agency salary commission
Summary
The subcommittee reported H5018 favorably (3–0), a bill that would make the governor and lieutenant governor salaries subject to the Agency Head Salary Commission’s recommendations beginning Jan. 20, 2027.
The House General Government Ways and Means Subcommittee reported H5018 favorably following a brief description and a short member exchange. Terrica Staggers explained the bill would, beginning Jan. 20, 2027, subject the governor’s and lieutenant governor’s salaries to recommendations from the agency head salary commission and require a review every four years.
The chair framed the proposal as bringing parity with other agency heads whose pay is set by the commission. A motion to report the bill favorably was made and seconded; a roll call produced a 3–0 result and the chair announced the bill was reported out favorably.
