1 1 Section 1. Section 257.8, subsection 1, Code 1995, is
1 2 amended to read as follows:
1 3 1. STATE PERCENT OF GROWTH. The state percent of growth
1 4 for a budget year shall be established by statute which shall
1 5 be enacted within thirty days of the submission in the base
1 6 year of the governor's budget under section 8.21. The
1 7 establishment of the state percent of growth for a budget year
1 8 shall be the only subject matter of the bill which enacts the
1 9 state percent of growth for a budget year. Notwithstanding
1 10 section 2.10, or any other provision to the contrary, if on
1 11 the thirtieth day after the submission of the governor's
1 12 budget, the general assembly fails to enact the statute as
1 13 provided in this subsection, the members of the general
1 14 assembly shall forfeit salary, per diem, and expenses earned
1 15 or to which they are entitled as legislators. The department
1 16 of revenue and finance, in cooperation with the secretary of
1 17 the senate and the chief clerk of the house of
1 18 representatives, shall reduce each member's salary payment for
1 19 each day for which the general assembly fails to enact the
1 20 statute as provided in this subsection, by an amount equal to
1 21 the member's annual salary divided by three hundred sixty-
1 22 five. Payment of per diem and expenses to members of the
1 23 general assembly shall resume on the date on which the statute
1 24 provided for in this subsection is enacted.
1 25 EXPLANATION
1 26 This bill provides that members of the general assembly
1 27 will forfeit salary, per diem, and expense payments if the
1 28 deadline for enactment of the allowable growth statute is not
1 29 met.
1 30 Current law provides that the general assembly must enact a
1 31 statute establishing the state percent of growth for a budget
1 32 year within 30 days of the submission in the base year of the
1 33 governor's budget. The bill directs the department of revenue
1 34 and finance, in consultation with the secretary of the senate
1 35 and the chief clerk of the house, to reduce each member's
2 1 salary payment for each day for which the general assembly
2 2 fails to enact the statute, by an amount equal to the member's
2 3 annual salary divided by 365. Payment of per diem and
2 4 expenses to members of the general assembly shall resume on
2 5 the date on which the statute provided for in this subsection
2 6 is enacted.
