§ 6251 Commissioners Serve Without Salary

This law says that commissioners do their job for free – they don’t get a salary or any pay.

Key Takeaways

  • •Commissioners work without a salary.
  • •No other compensation is provided for their service.
  • •Their role is essentially voluntary.

Example

Jane is appointed as a county commissioner. She attends meetings, makes decisions, and does the work, but she never receives a paycheck from the county.

Because of this law, Jane’s role is unpaid; she serves voluntarily and isn’t entitled to a salary or other compensation for her service.
