Committee advances pay increase for Alabama Municipal Electric Authority board members
Summary
Senate Bill 95, companion to a House measure, would set meeting compensation for Alabama Municipal Electric Authority board members at $1,750 and set the chair's per‑meeting pay at $2,000. The committee gave the bill a favorable voice vote in the excerpted proceedings.
Senate Bill 95, presented by Senator Tustin, would establish per‑meeting compensation for members of the Alabama Municipal Electric Authority: $1,750 per meeting for board members and $2,000 per meeting for the chair.
Tustin said the bill is a companion to a House bill that recently passed the House by a large margin. During committee consideration, a member moved the bill for a favorable report, it was seconded and committee members voted by voice. The transcript records several ‘‘aye’’ responses and no recorded opposition in the provided excerpt.
Why it matters: The bill changes statutory compensation for AMEA board members and the chair and would affect board member reimbursements tied to board meetings. The measure was advanced by committee action recorded in the excerpt.
Ending: With the committee voice vote in the excerpt, the bill appeared to be advanced for further consideration; the transcript provided does not include subsequent steps beyond the favorable committee action recorded.
