ADDISON GRAVES WILSON, for Committee.

1. Estimated Cost to State-First Year$ 2,520

2. Estimated Cost to State-Annually Thereafter$ 2,520

House Bill 4030, a Joint Resolution, proposes to establish the Joint Legislative Committee on Children and Families.

Section 1 of the joint resolution provides for the composition of the committee. Although this legislation does not address compensation of committee members, Proviso 129.36 addresses per diem for boards, commissions, and committees and Proviso 129.38D addresses subsistence for non-legislative members of committees. Per diem is paid at the rate of $35 per day and subsistence expenses are $35 per day or actual expenses incurred. Mileage of 25.5 cents per mile is also available. Per diem and subsistence for gubernatorial appointees would be $270 per day. Assuming the committee meets twelve times a year, per diem and subsistence expenses would amount to $2,520 annually.
