FISCAL DESCRIPTION
This act provides that the salary commission of any third class county may amend the base salary
schedules as provided by law for the computation of salaries for county officials to include
assessed valuation factors in excess of $300 million dollars; provided that the percentage of any
adjustments shall be equal for all county officials in that county.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
