§ 103 Commissioner Compensation Limits

Fish and Game Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says each commissioner gets $100 for every day they actually work, but they can’t get more than $500 in any calendar month, plus they get back any real costs they have while doing the job.

Key Takeaways

•Commissioners are paid $100 for each day they actually serve.
•Monthly pay can never be more than $500, no matter how many days are worked.
•Any real and necessary expenses they incur are reimbursed.
•All payments come from the Fish and Game Preservation Fund.

Example

Commissioner Jane works 4 days in March and spends $30 on travel.

She will be paid $100 × 4 = $400 for her work (under the $500 monthly limit) and will also be reimbursed the $30 she spent on travel.

How to Calculate

Compensation = min( $100 × DaysWorked , $500 )

Count the number of days the commissioner actually performed duties in the month.
Multiply that number by $100.
If the result is more than $500, set the compensation to $500; otherwise keep the calculated amount.

Commissioner Tom works 7 days in June.

Result: Compensation = min(100 × 7, 500) = min(700, 500) = $500
