HB 1377 -- COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSIONS

SPONSOR:  Sutherland

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Local Government by a vote of 17 to 0.

This bill increases the maximum reimbursement rate for members of
county planning commissions.  In second and third classification
counties, the rate of reimbursement for expenses will increase
from $15 to $25 per meeting.  In counties with alternative county
planning and zoning, the rate will increase from $10 to $25.  The
bill also deletes the maximum number of meetings for which the
members may be reimbursed.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that currently, depending on the
county classification, there are different reimbursement rates
for planning and zoning commission members.  The bill equalizes
the reimbursement rate.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Sutherland.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
