Summary

The bill changes the Water Code so that most districts can still only compensate board members for 10 days a month, but districts serving at least 90,000 people may increase that limit to 15 days. If a district exceeds the 10‑day limit, it must adopt a yearly written policy explaining why the extra compensation is needed. The changes expire on Jan. 1, 2032.
