State legislators will see a hefty pay increase in 2025.

 Legislators have not voted directly on the increase. Instead, they are relying on the results of a bipartican pay commission established last year. Their proposal, which will increase in total compensation from $30,000 a year to $58,000 a year. The increase can only be rejected with a resolution passed by both the state House and Senate. This would need to be done by next Wednesday. An effort at debate failed last week in the Senate and the House has not attempted any debate.

Supporters of the pay increase say it will help attract newer younger people to the legislature.

Correction: A previous version of this story stated legislators' current pay was $38,000.
