The bill amends the frequency of stipend payments for certain members of the Public School Employee Health Benefit Advisory Commission and the State Employee Health Benefit Advisory Commission. Specifically, it changes the payment structure for appointed members who are not active employees, adjusting their stipend from a monthly payment to a per-meeting payment.
In both sections of the Arkansas Code being amended, the language specifies that each eligible member will receive a stipend of one hundred dollars ($100) per meeting, along with mileage reimbursement. This change aims to align the compensation structure with the actual participation of the members in meetings rather than a fixed monthly payment.
