En lenguaje claro
This bill amends the 1872 law that created the Macon County board of commissioners, as that law has been changed over the years, most recently in 1983 and 1985. It adds a new section setting specific monthly pay amounts for board members. Under the bill, the chairperson of the Macon County board of commissioners would be paid $1,100.00 per month for serving in that role, and each other member of the board would be paid $1,000.00 per month. The bill also repeals any existing laws that conflict with these new pay amounts. This is a local bill that applies only to Macon County, not to county commissions statewide.
Qué hace el proyecto de ley
- Adds a new section to Macon County's founding law setting the chairperson's pay at $1,100.00 per month.
- Sets pay for each other board of commissioners member at $1,000.00 per month.
- Repeals any prior state or local laws that conflict with these new compensation amounts.
A quién afecta
This bill directly affects the chairperson and other members of the Macon County board of commissioners, whose monthly pay it sets, and indirectly affects Macon County taxpayers, whose county funds pay these salaries.
Por qué importa
The bill fixes exact monthly salaries for Macon County's elected commissioners, replacing whatever compensation arrangement existed before. This changes county government costs and clarifies pay for local officials without affecting any other Georgia county.
