Catch Title: County commissioner salaries.

Subject: Amending provision relating to county commissioners salaries.

Summary/Major Elements:

· Specifies that Boards of County Commissioners have authority to set the salary of county commissioners at no more than the lowest compensation paid any elected officer in the same county who serves full-time as specified in W.S. 18-3-106.

· Prior law did not include the qualification of full-time, thus county commissioner salaries had been limited to the lowest compensation paid to elected officials even if those officials were serving only part-time.
