08:19 AM -- Legislative Aide Hours

Mr. Mauer explained that the legislative budget allows for 420 hours of legislative aide employment per member, at an hourly rate of $10 per hour. He noted the current practice of permitting the aides of returning members to start as early as December 1, 2010, and the aides of newly elected members to start on January 12, 2011, the first day of session. Mr. Mauer further noted that the committee may also approve an end date for employment of aides, to be set at one week after the last day of session. Representative Weissmann asked if the legislature still uses a private company that monitors the aide hours, to which Mr. Mauer replied "no."
