Overview
This bill changes the rules about how much compensation water district directors can receive. Currently, districts are limited to paying directors a maximum of 10 days per month. This bill would allow districts with at least 90,000 residents to increase this limit to a maximum of 15 days per month, but would require them to justify the higher compensation with a written policy demonstrating its necessity for the district’s operations. The changes would be in effect until January 1, 2032, at which point the provisions would be repealed.
