2006 New York Code - Compensation, allowances and traveling expenses of members.


 
    §  6.  Each  member  of  the  legislature shall receive for his or her
  services a like annual salary, to be fixed by law. He or she shall  also
  be  reimbursed  for his or her actual traveling expenses in going to and
  returning from the place in which the legislature meets, not  more  than
  once  each  week while the legislature is in session. Senators, when the
  senate alone is convened in extraordinary session, or  when  serving  as
  members  of the court for the trial of impeachments, and such members of
  the assembly, not exceeding  nine  in  number,  as  shall  be  appointed
  managers  of  an  impeachment,  shall  receive  an  additional  per diem
  allowance, to be fixed by law. Any member, while serving as  an  officer
  of his or her house or in any other special capacity therein or directly
  connected therewith not hereinbefore in this section specified, may also
  be  paid  and  receive, in addition, any allowance which may be fixed by
  law for the  particular  and  additional  services  appertaining  to  or
  entailed  by  such office or special capacity. Neither the salary of any
  member nor any other allowance so fixed may be increased  or  diminished
  during,  and  with  respect  to, the term for which he or she shall have
  been elected, nor shall he or she be paid or  receive  any  other  extra
  compensation.  The  provisions  of  this  section  and  laws  enacted in
  compliance  therewith  shall  govern  and  be  exclusively  controlling,
  according  to their terms. Members shall continue to receive such salary
  and additional allowance  as  heretofore  fixed  and  provided  in  this
  section, until changed by law pursuant to this section.
