En lenguaje claro
This bill amends the 1993 law that reconstituted the Lee County Board of Education to change how much board members are paid. Under the bill, each board member, including the chairperson, would receive $175.00 per month in compensation. Board members would also be reimbursed for actual expenses they necessarily incur while attending meetings and nonathletic events as part of their official duties for the Lee County School District, subject to board approval. The bill would take effect on the first day of the month after it is signed by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without a signature. It also repeals any existing laws that conflict with its terms.
