This bill changes how South Dakota legislators' salaries are calculated by replacing the current index with a new formula based on the state median household income reported by the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. Instead of the previous calculation method, each legislator's base salary will now equal 22 percent of South Dakota's median household income, adjusted annually each January. The bill keeps all other compensation the same, including mileage reimbursement and per diem allowances.
