RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 262 (HB 375) 2020 Regular Session Farnum
Existing law authorizes commissioners of a gravity drainage district in Calcasieu Parish to
receive a per diem for each day they are employed in service of the district. Provides that the
board of commissioners sets the amount of the per diem, which is not to exceed $150.
Existing law limits the maximum number of per diem payments a commissioner may receive
in a year. Prior law provided that the maximum number was 36, except for commissioners

payments in a year. New law provides that the maximum number of per diem payments for
Consolidated Gravity Drainage Districts No. 1 and No. 2 is 48.
New law authorizes the board of commissioners of Consolidated Gravity Drainage Districts
No. 1 and No. 2, subject to a two-thirds vote, to pay one elected officer it designates up to
12 additional per diem payments per year for administrative duties.
Effective Aug. 1, 2020.
