SB 3072

Abstract

Amends the Compensation Review Act. Terminates the terms of the 12 current members of the Compensation Review Board and provides for appointment of 10 new members by the State executive branch constitutional officers (other than the Lieutenant Governor), the legislative leaders, and the Auditor General (now, appointed by the legislative leaders). Specifies additional qualifications for members and their terms. In recommending compensation, requires that the Board consider the current automatic cost-of-living adjustment. Requires that the Board evaluate all compensation factors openly at its public hearings and include its recommendations in its minutes. Requires that the Board maintain an official website and specifies its contents. Requires that the Board prepare and file a separate report with respect to each of the 3 branches of State government (now, the Board prepares and files one report). Provides that a Compensation Review Board report is effective if approved in whole or reduced by a resolution adopted by the General Assembly (now, effective unless disapproved in whole or reduced by a resolution adopted by the General Assembly). Removes an obsolete reference to the period for disapproval of the Board's initial report. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
