Committee approves change to benefits board meeting frequency and stipend
Summary
SB134 reduces the stipend for an unspecified benefits board from $500 to $100 and changes meeting frequency from monthly to quarterly; the committee approved the bill on a voice vote.
The committee voted to pass Senate Bill 134, which would change the meeting cadence and stipend for a state board overseen by the employee benefits division.
Senator Love presented the bill on behalf of Senator Irvin and said the bill “does 2 things. Number 1, it moves the monthly meetings to quarterly to bring it more in line with the board that it needs to work with. And then number 2, the bill reduces the stipend, from 500 to $100.”
Sponsor and committee members characterized the change as administrative and aligned with stipends paid to comparable boards and commissions. No opponents signed up and the committee approved SB134 by voice vote.
The transcript does not identify the board by statutory name beyond references to the employee benefits division and does not provide further budgetary detail beyond the stipend reduction described in testimony.
