SOURCE: GC § 6911 added by P.L. 15-148:32. Amended by P.L. 23-
45:IV:10. Repealed and reenacted by P.L. 24-59:V:13.

2018 NOTE: Subsection designations added pursuant to authority by 1
GCA § 1606.

COMMENT: 1. GC § 6911 was added as the last section in a string of 32 sections affecting compensation for members of boards and commissions. The preceding 31 sections amended each board or commission found in law at that time to fix the amount as stated in this section. It appears that the Legislature intended all boards and commissions to have the same compensation, that provided in this section, even if the board or commission was inadvertently omitted from P.L. 15-148, or established by Executive Order. Certain commissions established since that time (January
1981) have different compensation.

2. P.L. 16-44:21 stated: “No person who is a member of any board or commission within the government shall be compensated for service on such board or commission.”

Public Law 16-111:II:6 repealed that section.
