A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT NO LEGISLATIVE EMPLOYEE MAY RECEIVE A SALARY INCREASE EXCEPT BY ACTION OF THE LEGISLATIVE SERVICES COMMISSION AND THAT NO INCREASES IN SALARY MAY BE GRANTED FOR LEGISLATIVE EMPLOYEES UNLESS AUTHORIZED FOR STATE EMPLOYEES GENERALLY.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.   Existing G.S. 120-32 is designated as G.S. 120-32(a) and a new subsection is added to read:
"( b)	Any action taken under subdivisions (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section to:
(1)	Promote or change the classification or compensation; or
(2)	Change salary schedules
of any legislative services employee or employee of either house may be taken only by the full Legislative Services Commission.  Action to set the compensation of any such employee who had been a legislative services employee or employee of either house within six months prior to rehiring may be taken only by the full Legislative Services Commission if the compensation is different than that the employee previously had.
When considering personnel matters, including salary changes, of joint legislative service employees of the General Assembly, or of either house, the Commission may meet in executive session.  However, no action may be taken on these matters except by the Commission in an open meeting.  No legislative employee may receive any increase in salary unless such increase is authorized for employees subject to the State Personnel Act."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
