New State Laws On Payrolls Bypass 1921 Limits
The 1981 General Assembly faced limits on state employee payrolls set by the 1921 act, amended later, restricting Senate to 43 and House to 49 staffers. Attempts to exceed these by resolution failed until Attorney General Hal L. Norwood ruled that only a bill could raise headcount. Representative James Campbell drafted a bill to allow 70 House staffers. Senate later amended to permit 73. Since 1921, legislatures have employed more workers than allowed, via resolutions and vouchers. State Auditor J. Oscar Humphrey sought an opinion this year, prompting Norwood’s ruling and Campbell’s bill enactment.
