Kansas lawmakers approve 93% pay raise, increasing legislators' salaries from $30,000 to nearly $58,000.

Kansas lawmakers have approved a significant 93% pay raise that is set to take effect next year. Under this increase, rank-and-file legislators' pay will be boosted from $30,000 to nearly $58,000, while legislative leaders will receive additional compensation. The pay raise rose from a bipartisan pay commission and will make Kansas legislators' compensation better than that of the majority of other states, including more populous ones like Georgia and Texas.
