RELATING TO SALARIES.

SECTION 1. The downturn in the United States and global economy caused by the credit crisis, mortgage and financial securities market volatility, oil price fluctuations, and resulting uncertainty has impacted Hawaii and its residents.

The State is facing a projected $1,760,000,000 budget shortfall for the balance of fiscal year 2008-2009 and the biennium budget period.
The purpose of this Act is to freeze the salaries of certain members of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of state government in recognition of the current fiscal situation and to lead-by-example in showing the people of Hawaii that public officials are doing their share to conserve public resources.

shall until June 30, 2011, remain the same as it was on July 1, 2008.
(b) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the annual salary of members of the legislature shall until December 31, 2011, remain the same as it was on January 1, 2009.
