SPONSOR: Busick
COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "Do Pass" by the Standing Committee on Local Government by a vote of 16 to 0.
Every noncharter county has a salary commission, the members of which are specified in state statute. This bill removes the county prosecuting attorney and county sheriff from the list of members of the salary commission.
PROPONENTS: Supporters say that county sheriffs' and prosecuting attorneys' salaries are no longer set by county salary commissions, but by other means. Because these officials' salaries aren't determined by the salary commission there's no need for their participation on the commission.
Testifying in person for the bill were Representative Busick and Arnie C. Dienoff.
OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
