This bill changes how South Dakota lawmakers' salaries are calculated by replacing the current formula with one based on the state's median household income rather than a fixed percentage. Specifically, legislators will now earn 22 percent of South Dakota's median household income (adjusted annually) instead of the previous calculation method, with the exact percentage and index being updated each January based on the most recent Census data available.
