Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 101, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, expresses the Idaho Legislature's decision to reject the compensation rates set by the Citizens' Committee on Legislative Compensation. The resolution emphasizes the Legislature's authority to modify these rates, particularly in light of rising costs for essential goods and services that Idaho residents are facing. It underscores the importance of fiscal responsibility and prioritizing the needs of the public over increasing government expenditures and legislator pay.

As a result of this resolution, the compensation rates established by the Citizens' Committee for the two-year period starting December 1, 2024, will not be implemented. Instead, the compensation and expenses that were in effect during the Sixty-seventh Idaho Legislature will continue to apply. The resolution also clarifies that any compensation paid between December 1, 2024, and the resolution's effective date will be considered lawful and does not require repayment from legislators.
