What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, salaries of most county officers and employees must be paid at the end of each month unless the county board specifies that salaries be paid semimonthly or every two weeks. Also under current law, the salaries of county medical examiners and medical examiner's assistants must be paid semimonthly.
This bill eliminates the specification that the salaries of medical examiners and medical examiner's assistants be paid semimonthly.
