This proposed constitutional amendment would automatically adjust state legislators’ salaries each year for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), once voters approve a salary level. Pay would rise or fall annually with the cost of living, without new public votes. For other elected state officials, a commission could recommend salary changes, and the governor may submit these to the legislature—taking effect automatically unless specifically rejected or changed. The aim is to keep compensation current and avoid outdated salaries. If passed by the Legislature, it will appear on the 2026 general election ballot.
