ATTORNEY GENERAL
In re: Legislative Salaries
and Per Diem Reimbursements
(Proposition 302)
To: The Honorable Brenda Burns, President, Arizona State Senate;
The Honorable Jeff Groscost, Speaker, Arizona House of
Representatives; The Honorable Jack Brown, Senate Minority
Leader; and The Honorable Bob McLendon, House Minority Leader
Ouestion Presented
At the November 3, 1998, general election, Arizona's
electorate passed Proposition 302, which contained the following
language proposed by the Commission on Salaries for Elected State
Officers:
Each state legislator shall be paid $24,000 per
annum, and as further compensation, per     diem
reimbursement commensurate with and as provided by
law for non-elective Arizona state employees.
On January 6, 1999, you requested a formal legal opinion on the
effect of the payment provisions in      Proposition 302.    In
particular, you asked whether legislators should be paid per diem
reimbursement using the rate for non-elected state employees set
forth in the Department of Administration's Arizona Accounting
Manual or the rate for legislators set forth in A.R.S. § 41-1104.
