§ 77929 Director Expense Reimbursement

Key Takeaways

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

Example

The director spends money on travel for work meetings.

The commission has to pay the director back for the travel costs. But if the director unfairly stops the commission from doing their job, and the commission takes them to court, the commission might not have to pay the director's legal bills.
