Bill overview
This bill, the Legislative Performance Compensation Reform Act, reduces the annual salary of New Jersey’s legislators from $82,000 to $0, effective starting in the 2028 legislative year. The bill aims to address concerns about persistent budget deficits and reliance on temporary fixes by tying legislator compensation to performance. While members would continue to serve, their salaries would be set at zero to reflect the state’s ongoing fiscal challenges.
