County employees’ retirement: administration: retirement board member compensation for meetings.

CA AB1323 aimed to change the rules about how retirement board members for county employees are compensated for attending meetings. The bill proposed to allow these board members to receive payment for their time spent in meetings related to public employees' retirement. However, the bill did not pass.

Supporters of CA AB1323 would argue that compensating retirement board members for their time is a fair and necessary step to ensure that qualified individuals are willing to serve on these boards. They might emphasize that this compensation could lead to better governance and oversight of public employees' retirement funds.

Critics of CA AB1323 might contend that paying retirement board members for meetings could lead to unnecessary expenditures and raise concerns about financial accountability. They may argue that public service should be voluntary and that such compensation could create conflicts of interest in managing public funds.
