What’s in it

AI summary Instead of using a special compensation board, county supervisors will now be responsible for creating and reviewing the pay schedules for certain elected county officials. This change moves the task of deciding how much these officials should be paid directly to the county's board of supervisors.¹

Read the official explanation

This bill eliminates county compensation boards. The bill grants county boards of supervisors the responsibility of annually preparing and reviewing the compensation schedule for certain elected county officers. Under current law, a county compensation board annually prepares a recommended compensation schedule for certain elected county officers for a succeeding fiscal year subject to adoption by the county board of supervisors.
