The House General Government Ways and Means Subcommittee reported H5018 favorably following a brief description and a short member exchange. Terrica Staggers explained the bill would, beginning Jan. 20, 2027, subject the governor’s and lieutenant governor’s salaries to recommendations from the agency head salary commission and require a review every four years.
The chair framed the proposal as bringing parity with other agency heads whose pay is set by the commission. A motion to report the bill favorably was made and seconded; a roll call produced a 3–0 result and the chair announced the bill was reported out favorably.
