Article VI, Section 9. [Compensation of legislators -- Citizens' salary commission.]
The Legislature shall not increase the salaries of its members on its own initiative, but
shall provide by law for the appointment by the Governor of a citizens' salary commission to
make recommendations concerning the salaries of members of the Legislature. Upon submission
of the commission's recommendations, the Legislature shall by law accept, reject or lower the
salary but may not, in any event, increase the recommendation. The Legislature shall provide by
law for the expenses of its members. Until salaries and expenses enacted as authorized by this
section become effective, members of the Legislature shall receive compensation of $25 per diem
while actually in session, expenses of $15 per diem while actually in session, and mileage as
provided by law.
