HJR 55 -- Compensation and Discipline of Public Officials

Sponsor:  Lipke

This proposed constitutional amendment prohibits, upon voter
approval, public officials convicted of felonies while in office,
removed from office for misconduct, or impeached from receiving
any state pension.  The amendment also removes the General
Assembly's power of disapproval over the compensation schedule
and the requirement that the compensation schedule be subject to
appropriations.  No member of the General Assembly holding office
in 2006 will be eligible for a salary increase while serving in
the same office.
