Prevents withholding of bi-weekly salary payments for state legislators if budget passage is delayed and certain legislation is submitted.

This bill amends the legislative law to ensure that bi-weekly salary installment payments and allowances for members of the state legislature are not withheld if the governor submits certain legislation that is not necessary for budget implementation and the budget has not been passed by the start of the fiscal year. The withheld payments will be paid once the budget is passed. The withheld payments are defined as gross salary minus deductions such as federal, state, and city taxes.
