DISTRICTS/SPECIAL: Provides relative to compensation of commissioners of ambulance service districts in Allen Parish
This bill updates the rules for ambulance service districts in Allen Parish by allowing their commissioners to receive payment for attending board meetings. Under the new provision, commissioners can be paid up to $100 per day for each meeting they attend, with a maximum of 24 such days per year. The funds for these payments must come from the district's own budget rather than state money. This change directly affects the local officials who govern these specific ambulance districts.
