Summary

The $1,200 cap goes away. The commissioners court picks the number.

This bill changes how members of the Winkler County Juvenile Board are paid extra for their board duties. It requires the Winkler County commissioners court to pay every board member, not just the chairman, extra yearly pay, and it removes the old $1,200 amount and cap. The commissioners court now sets the amount itself and pays it monthly from county funds, starting September 1, 2027.
