§ 77756 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 from doing its work, the commission doesn’t have to pay the secretary’s legal fees for that action.

Imagine the secretary spends money on office supplies for the commission’s work. Normally, the commission has to pay them back.

But if the secretary unfairly stops the commission from holding meetings, and the commission takes them to court, the court might say the commission doesn’t have to pay the secretary’s lawyer fees for that unfair action.
