What’s in it

This bill relates to the payment of dues by the general assembly for membership in professional organizations by members of the general assembly. The bill prohibits the general assembly from paying membership dues to a professional organization on behalf of all members of the general assembly, including but not limited to the national conference of state legislatures and the council of state governments. The bill requires the general assembly to instead calculate, on an annual basis, the amount of dues that the general assembly would pay for membership in the national conference of state legislatures and the council of state governments and equally distribute the same amount of moneys to the members of the general assembly.
