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 the appropriateness of salary increases for legislators. The report must feature comparative analyses of salaries, per diem, travel expenses, and other allowances, alongside a rationale for legislative structures in other states that have implemented full-time bodies and salary increases.

Additionally, OPPAGA is tasked with evaluating the compensation of Cabinet members, comparing their salaries to those of Cabinet members in states with similar populations, and providing recommendations on potential salary increases. The bill emphasizes the need for thorough data analysis and comparative studies to inform decisions regarding legislative compensation and structure. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
