California Citizens Compensation Commission

Proposition 112, passed by voters in June 1990, established the Commission to set the salaries and medical, dental, insurance and other similar benefits of Members of the Legislature and the State's other elected officials. Proposition 1F, passed by voters in May 2009, prevents the Commission from increasing elected officials' salaries during budget deficit years. The Commission has seven members, appointed by the Governor for six-year terms.  CCCC Benefits - CalHR Website
