This bill amends R.S. 15:574.2(A)(7) to revise the compensation structure for members of the committee on parole. The previous language, which specified maximum salary limits for the chairman, vice chairman, and other members, has been removed. Instead, the bill establishes that the legislature will determine the annual compensation for board members through specific appropriations in the general appropriation bill. It also stipulates that the chairman's salary will be set at ten percent higher than that of other members, while the vice chairman's salary will be five percent above that of a board or committee member.

Additionally, the bill ensures that each member will be reimbursed for necessary travel and expenses incurred while performing their official duties. The actual salaries and expenses will be funded from the general operating fund of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, as authorized by the secretary. This change aims to provide a more flexible and legislatively controlled compensation framework for the members of the parole committee.
