The amount of this stipend shall be determined by the Budget Committee. The remuneration shall be consistent with all applicable laws of the State of Florida, and with all other guidelines established by lawful regulatory bodies. In order to be paid for services the Senator or Solicitor General must complete the required employment application for forms as prescribed by the University of South Florida.

fifteen [15] hours per week. This remuneration represents required attendance in the Student Government Offices for at least three [3] hours per week and attendance at meetings and subcommittees.
