The bill S. 1070 proposes that each member of the Hampton County Transportation Committee, excluding the chairman, will receive compensation of one hundred dollars for each meeting they attend, while the chairman will receive one hundred fifty dollars per meeting. The payments will be made from Hampton County "C" fund revenues and are limited to a maximum of eighteen meetings per fiscal year. The compensation will be issued upon the approval of vouchers by the chairman, who is also restricted from approving vouchers for more than eighteen meetings in any single fiscal year.
This legislation aims to formalize the compensation structure for members of the Hampton County Transportation Committee, ensuring that they are compensated for their time and contributions while also placing a cap on the number of meetings eligible for payment within a fiscal year. The bill will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
