Iowa bill sets out pay schedules for state officials

The bill would set out annual salary rates for seven statewide elected officials. The schedule covers the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of agriculture, attorney general, auditor of state, secretary of state, and treasurer of state. The salaries would be paid from money appropriated to the department or office named for each position. The rates would start with the pay period beginning January 1, 2027, and continue until the legislature provides otherwise. This section would end December 31, 2032; after that, salaries would follow a 2005 law.

The bill sets out salary figures for legislators and named legislative leaders. The provisions cover general assembly members and named leaders, including each chamber’s presiding officer and floor leaders, the senate president pro tempore, and the house speaker pro tempore. For 2027 through 2032, the text shows paired salary figures without making clear which figure applies. This division would apply when the 92nd General Assembly convenes in January 2027. The separate rates for 2033 and later would begin in 2033.
