in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Legislative Counsel gets paid at least $173,900 a year, or more if the Speaker sets a higher rate. Other Office staff get paid at rates the Legislative Counsel sets with Speaker approval, but never more than the Speaker's approved cap.

(a) The Legislative Counsel must be paid a yearly salary equal to whichever is greater: $173,900, or the pay rate the Speaker of the House has set for the position under a separate pay-setting law (section 4532 of this title). (b) Everyone else on the Office's staff, besides the Legislative Counsel, is paid at yearly rates the Legislative Counsel sets. This requires either the Speaker's approval or following rules the Speaker has already approved. These staff rates can never be higher than the top pay rate the Speaker has set under that same pay-setting law.
