The bill S. 1071 proposes that members of the Colleton County Transportation Committee receive compensation for attending meetings, with specific payment amounts established for regular members and the chairman. Each regular member will be compensated $100 per meeting, while the chairman will receive $150 per meeting attended. The bill stipulates that payments will be made from Colleton County "C" fund revenues and that the chairman is responsible for approving vouchers for these payments. However, the chairman is restricted from approving vouchers that exceed compensation for more than eighteen meetings in a single fiscal year.
This legislation aims to formalize the compensation structure for committee members, ensuring that they are compensated for their time and contributions while also placing a cap on the number of meetings for which they can be paid within a fiscal year. The bill will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
