37 Be it resolved by the Legislature of the state of Utah:
38 WHEREAS, on November 19, 2019, the Legislative Compensation Commission
39 presented its 2020 report, which contains the commission's bi-annual review of legislative
40 compensation and presents a list of findings that relate to that compensation and legislator's
41 salary for their service in elected office;
42 WHEREAS, the Legislative Compensation Commission's 2020 report recommended,
43 among other matters, that beginning with fiscal year 2020, the daily salary rate for legislators
44 increase from the current rate of $285 per day to $292 per day;
45 WHEREAS, the Legislature thanks the Legislative Compensation Commission for their
46 efforts; and
