The Chief Administrative Officer must deduct a Member’s or Delegate’s salary for each day of absence from the House. The deduction does not apply when the absence is attributed to sickness of the person or a family member.
The Chief Administrative Officer of the House, after certification by the Clerk, must deduct from each Member’s or Delegate’s monthly or other legally authorized periodic payments the salary for each day the person was absent from the House. The deduction is not required when the person gives the sickness of the person or a family member as the reason for the absence.
The Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives (upon certification by the Clerk of the House of Representatives) shall deduct from the monthly payments (or other periodic payments authorized by law) of each Member or Delegate the amount of his salary for each day that he has been absent from the House, unless such Member or Delegate assigns as the reason for such absence the sickness of himself or of some member of his family.
