What’s in it

AI summary People who serve on county hospital boards would be allowed to get paid for their work. Currently, these trustees can only be paid back for their travel or other necessary expenses. This change would not stop someone from serving on the board or count as a conflict of interest.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to compensation for county hospital trustees. Under current law, after voters of a county vote to establish a county public hospital, the county board of supervisors appoints residents to serve as members of the hospital board of trustees. Current law prohibits a trustee from receiving any compensation for services performed as a trustee, except that a trustee shall be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of the trustee’s duties. The bill allows a trustee to receive compensation for services performed as a trustee. Receiving compensation under the bill does not disqualify a person from serving as a trustee and does not qualify as a conflict of interest transaction.
