	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 682, Calderon.  Mosquito abatement, pest abatement, or vector
control districts:  traveling expenses.
   Existing law requires the members of a mosquito abatement, pest
abatement, or vector control district board to serve without
compensation, but requires members to be paid for the necessary
expenses for actual traveling in connection with meetings or business
of the board.  Existing law provides that in lieu of expenses, the
district board may by resolution provide for the allowance and
payment to the members of the board of a sum not exceeding $50 per
month per member for expenses incurred in attending business meetings
of the board.
   This bill would increase the sum that the district board by
resolution may provide for the allowance of payment to board members
for these expenses from $50 to $100 per month per member.

  SECTION 1.  Section 2248 of the Health and Safety Code is amended

resolution provide for the allowance and payment to the members of
the board of a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100) per month
per member for expenses incurred in attending business meetings of
the board.
  SEC. 2.  Section 2851 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to
read:
   2851.  The members of the district board shall hold office at the
pleasure of the board of supervisors.  They shall serve without
compensation, but shall be allowed their necessary traveling and
other expenses incurred in performance of their official duties.  In
lieu of expenses, the district board may, by resolution, provide for
the allowance and payment to each member of the board of a sum not
