What’s in it

This bill allows each member of the house of representatives to hire a clerk to work for the member. The bill requires a clerk hired by a member to be on duty from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and on other days as required by the chief clerk of the house of representatives. The bill requires the chief clerk to set the rate at which legislative clerks shall be paid. Currently, members of the house of representatives are granted the authority to hire clerks by the rules of the chamber, which require the clerks to be on duty Monday through Thursday during the legislative session.
