§ 71053 Secretary Reimbursement Rules

• •The commission must pay back the secretary for any money spent while doing their job.
• •If a court decides the secretary was unfair or unreasonable in stopping the commission's work, the commission doesn’t have to pay the secretary’s legal fees for that action.

The secretary spends money on travel for meetings but then stops the commission from doing important work without a good reason.

Normally, the commission would pay the secretary back for the travel costs. But if a court says the secretary was unfair in stopping the commission’s work, the commission doesn’t have to pay the secretary’s legal fees for that decision.
