This bill mandates the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) to conduct comprehensive research and analysis regarding the compensation of both legislators and Cabinet members in Florida. Specifically, OPPAGA is required to prepare and submit a detailed report by December 1, 2025, which will include findings and recommendations on whether the Legislature should operate as a full-time, part-time, or hybrid body, as well as whether salary increases for legislators are warranted. The report must feature comparative analyses of salaries, per diem, travel expenses, and other allowances, both within Florida and in other states, alongside a rationale for legislative structures in states that have adopted full-time legislatures.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that OPPAGA will also assess the appropriateness of salary increases for Cabinet members, comparing their compensation to that of Cabinet members in states with similar populations. The effective date of this act is set for July 1, 2025.
