Representative Mickelson asks committee to introduce board-member pay adjustment bill to avoid double compensation
Summary
Representative Stephanie Mickelson asked the committee to introduce RS 32698, a bill previously revised to prevent paying individuals twice for overlapping public roles; the committee voted to introduce the draft for a hearing.
Representative Stephanie Mickelson of Legislative District 32 asked the committee to introduce RS 32698, a bill the committee has considered previously and revised to avoid duplicative compensation for certain board members.
Mickelson said the draft was adjusted after organizers realized some people appointed to the new board were already paid for public service through a city council or county commission and "we didn't want them to be paid twice." She said this committee had approved similar language on two prior occasions and sought permission to make RS 32698 a bill so it could have a hearing.
Representative Polonka moved to introduce RS 32698. The motion passed by voice vote and the committee adjourned.
The transcript records the sponsor's request and the committee's vote to introduce the draft; no hearing date, amendment text, or further debate was recorded in the provided segment.
