12 | recommendations for change by the Governor as provided
in | ||||||
13 | Section 9 of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution. | ||||||

16 | lodging and meals is $111 per day and (ii) mileage for | ||||||
17 | automobile travel shall be reimbursed at a rate of $0.39 per | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paid to the surviving
spouse of such member, or, if there be | ||||||

6 | fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011, every member of the 97th | ||||||
7 | General Assembly is mandatorily required to forfeit one day of | ||||||
8 | compensation. The State Comptroller shall deduct the | ||||||

11 | in each month of the fiscal year. For purposes of this Section, | ||||||
