This bill amends the salaries and allowances for state elected officials in Iowa, with significant increases for members of the general assembly and statewide elected executive officials. For members of the general assembly, the annual salary will increase from $25,000 to $45,000, with additional monthly allowances rising from $300 to $450. The salaries for leadership positions, such as the speaker of the house and presiding officer of the senate, will also see substantial increases, with the speaker's salary rising from $37,500 to $67,500 and the president pro tempore's salary increasing from $27,000 to $49,000.
