In plain language

The bill changes compensation for members of the State Air Resources Board.

This bill mandates that members of the State Air Resources Board from air quality districts receive an annual salary, equal to other board members, and it removes the daily compensation for elected officials serving on the board. These changes aim to standardize compensation across board members.

Summary

Existing law establishes the State Air Resources Board consisting of 14 members with 12 members appointed by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate. Existing law provides that, of the 12 members appointed by the Governor, 6 of those members are to be from certain air quality management districts or air pollution control districts, as provided. In addition to the 14 members of the state board, existing law provides that 2 Members of the Legislature serve on the state board as ex officio, nonvoting members of the state board. Existing law provides that members appointed as members from the air districts serve on the state board without compensation. Existing law provides that the elected official members of the state board receive $100 for each day, or a portion thereof, but not to exceed $1,000 in any month, attending meetings of the state board or its committees, or upon authorization of the state board while on official business of the state board. Existing law specifies the annual salary of each member of the state board. This bill would require that the members of the state board from air districts receive the annual salary provided to other members of the state board, and would eliminate the $100 payments provided to elected official members of the state board.
