Plain-English Summary (for reference only — not a substitute for the rule text above)
This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
Board members get paid $10 for each day they attend a meeting. They also get paid back for any real costs they spend while doing board work, like travel expenses.
The rule counts several types of gatherings as "meetings" for pay purposes. This includes regular committee meetings the board has approved, meetings between board members who live off-island and the board secretary, and appointments with Supreme Court Justices or their staff. So if a board member attends any of these, they can collect the $10 daily payment and get reimbursed for their expenses.
