-
Establishes a $2,000 monthly housing allowance beginning in 2026 for five state constitutional officers: Attorney General, Auditor, Secretary of State, Commissioner of Agriculture, and State Treasurer
-
Housing allowance is conditional on the funds being used for housing located in the seat of state government (Charleston)
-
The Governor is excluded from the housing allowance provision, as the Governor already has an official residence

Total additional annual cost would be $120,000 ($24,000 per officer × 5 officers)
