1 in each odd-numbered year, the Compensation Council must prescribe

salaries for constitutional officers, and for the agency and metropolitan agency heads

identified in section
15A.0815
. The prescribed salary for each office must take effect July

1 of that year and July 1 of the subsequent even-numbered year and at whatever interval

the council determines thereafter, unless the legislature by law provides otherwise. An

appropriation by the legislature to fund the relevant office, branch, or agency of an amount

sufficient to pay the salaries prescribed by the council constitutes a prescription by law as

provided in the Minnesota Constitution, article V, sections 4 and 5.

(c) By April 1 in each odd-numbered year, the Compensation Council must prescribe

daily compensation for voting members of the Direct Care and Treatment executive board.

The recommended daily compensation takes effect on July 1 of that year and July 1 of the

subsequent even-numbered year and at whatever interval the council recommends thereafter,

unless the legislature by law provides otherwise.
