         SECTION 1.  Section 3828.056, Special District Local Laws
  Code, is amended to read as follows:
         Sec. 3828.056.  COMPENSATION.  (a)  In this section,

  or ministerial activities such as the execution of documents,
  self-preparation for meetings, or other activities requiring a
  minimal amount of time.
         (b)  A director is [not] entitled to receive fees of office
  of not more than $150 a day for each day the director spends
  performing the duties of a director as compensation for service on
  the board and [but] is entitled to reimbursement for necessary and
  reasonable expenses incurred in performing [carrying out] the
  duties [and responsibilities] of a director.
         (c)  The board by resolution shall set a limit on the fees of
  office that a director may receive in a year.  The board may not set
  the limit at more than $7,200.

  effect when the duty is performed, and the former law is continued
  in effect for that purpose.
