§ 78644 Secretary Expense Reimbursement Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •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 something, the commission doesn’t have to pay the secretary’s legal fees for that action.

Example

The secretary spends money on travel for work, and the commission pays them back.

The commission has to cover the secretary’s work expenses, like travel or supplies. But if the secretary unfairly stops the commission from doing something, a court can say the commission doesn’t have to pay the secretary’s legal bills for that.
