	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member V. Manuel Perez

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to add Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 11570) to
Chapter 6 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code,
relating to boards and commissions.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1501, as introduced, V. Manuel Perez. Boards and commission:
salaries full time.
   Existing law specified the salaries of certain members of various
state boards and commissions.
    This bill would require the salary of a board member, as defined,
that is set by statute to be based on the board member serving full
time and would require, if a board member does not work full time in
any given month, to prorate the salary of that board member to the
actual hours worked while serving as a board member. The bill would
exclude from these requirements a board member who is paid a salary
on or after January 1, 2010, of less than $100,000. The bill would
require the Department of Personnel Administration to adopt
regulations for determining which activities constitute service as a
board member and the minimum number of hours required to deem a board
member to be serving full time, which would be prohibited from being
less than 160 hours per month.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 11570) is added to

11568, the salary of any member of a board, commission, committee, or

(c).

annual salary on or after January 1, 2010, of less than one hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000).
   11571.  The salary of a board member set by statute shall be based

   11572.  The Department of Personnel Administration shall adopt
