The bill SB1023 proposes to amend the compensation structure for directors of sanitary districts in Arizona. Currently, the maximum compensation for these directors is set at $150 per month. The new bill increases this maximum to $336 per month and introduces a provision that allows for periodic adjustments to the compensation based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), starting in 2029 and occurring every five years thereafter.

Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to the existing law, including updates to terminology and the process for electing directors. It maintains the requirement that directors must be qualified electors of the district and outlines the procedures for elections and potential reorganizations of the board. Overall, the key difference lies in the significant increase in compensation and the introduction of a mechanism for future adjustments based on economic factors.
