AI Summary

This bill increases the annual compensation that trustees, who are members of the governing board of a fire protection district, can receive. Specifically, for districts with fewer than 4 full-time paid firefighters, the maximum annual compensation for a trustee will rise from $1,000 to $1,500. For districts with more than 3 but fewer than 10 full-time paid firefighters, the maximum will increase from $1,500 to $2,000. Finally, for districts employing 10 or more full-time paid firefighters, the maximum annual compensation for a trustee will be raised from $2,000 to $2,500. These changes aim to provide a modest increase in compensation for these public servants who oversee fire protection services.
