AB 168

Generally, under current law and under a number of state supreme court

decisions, the doctrine of compatibility holds that one person cannot hold two offices

if one office is superior to another in some respect and the superior office makes

decisions about the other office such that the duties exercised under each might

conflict to the public detriment. Also under current law, members of a town, village,

or county board or city council are generally ineligible for any office or position that

the board or council has the authority to fill. A specific statutory provision authorizes

a town board member to receive an hourly wage, not exceeding $15,000 each year,

as a town employee.

This bill authorizes a member of a village board to receive an hourly wage, not

exceeding $15,000 each year, as a village employee.
