House Bill No. by Representative Adams aims to amend the compensation structure for members of the board of commissioners of gas utility districts in East Feliciana Parish. The bill enacts R.S. 33:4305(B)(6), which stipulates that no member of the board shall receive a salary for their duties. Instead, members may receive a per diem for attending meetings, with the maximum amount set at $250 per meeting, applicable to up to 24 regular meetings and two special meetings per year. Additionally, members can be reimbursed for proper expenses incurred while conducting district business, and the board may provide reasonable additional compensation for members serving as secretary, treasurer, or secretary-treasurer.

The proposed law modifies existing regulations that previously allowed a maximum per diem of $75 for up to 25 meetings per year and maintained the prohibition on salaries for board members. By increasing the per diem and specifying the number of meetings, the bill aims to enhance the compensation framework for board members in East Feliciana Parish while retaining the overall structure of the existing law regarding gas utility districts.
