California Legislature—2015–16 Regular Session

Assembly Bill No. 1817

Introduced by Assembly Member Mark Stone

February 8, 2016

An act to amend Section 49123 of the Public Resources Code, relating to solid waste.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1817, as introduced, Mark Stone. Solid waste: garbage and refuse disposal districts: board of directors.

Existing law authorizes the formation of garbage and refuse disposal districts under certain conditions, and requires that a board of directors of not less than 3 members be appointed for each district. Existing law authorizes members of the board of directors to receive not more than $50 per diem for each day of actual attendance at the meetings of the board, up to $100 in a calendar month.

This bill would require that a member of a district board receive compensation in an amount not to exceed $100 per day for each day of attendance at a meeting of the board or for each day of service rendered as director by request of the board, and would authorize a member of a district board to receive that compensation for no more than 6 days in a calendar month.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
