Election boards; increasing amount of per diem for members for certain meetings. Effective date.
SB 831 increases the daily per diem payment for members of election boards attending certain meetings. It directly affects local election board members who serve on committees or attend required training sessions. The bill raises the standard daily rate for these specific meetings, effective May 12, 2025, when it became law without the Governor's signature. This change modifies the compensation structure for election board participation but does not alter voting procedures or election administration rules.
