An Act To Provide Compensation To Individuals With Lived Experience Serving On Advisory Boards, Commissions, Councils And Similar Groups

Summary

The act authorizes compensation for board members who bring personal, first‑hand knowledge to advisory boards and similar groups, provided they are not already paid by their employer or the entity they represent. Payments are capped at the legislative per diem and may include reimbursement for meals, travel, child care, and other expenses, as long as the associated state department has budget authority. The change aims to increase equity by valuing lived‑experience perspectives on low‑authority boards.
