AZ SB1293

Sets annual salary for state legislators at $70,000 effective January 1, 2027, replacing the prior commission-based salary determination process.

Removes the Compensation Commission's authority to review and recommend legislative salaries, limiting its jurisdiction to elective state officers, judges, and court clerks only.

Eliminates the previous process where legislative salary recommendations required voter approval at the general election.

Continues reimbursement for legislators' travel and subsistence expenses for attending legislative sessions and legislative matters.

Bill becomes effective only if voters approve a related constitutional amendment at the next general election via Senate Concurrent Resolution.
