LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

The Sacramento Regional Transit District Act provides for the formation of the Sacramento Regional Transit District, with specified powers and duties related to providing public transit services. The act establishes a board of directors and vests the board with government of the district. The act requires a member of the board to receive $100 for attending a noticed meeting of the board, up to 4 noticed board meetings per month, as provided.

This bill would instead require a member of the board to receive $200 for attending a noticed meeting of the board, up to 3 noticed board meetings per month. By requiring the district to increase compensation to a member of the board, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 102106 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:

102106.

Each member of the board shall receive the sum of two hundred dollars ($200) for each attendance at up to three noticed meetings of the board per month, and shall be allowed actual necessary traveling expenses incurred in the discharge of the member’s duties.

SEC. 2.

If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
