PART Plc 1003  PER DIEM COMPENSATION; REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES

 

Statutory Authority:  RSA 310-A:1-d, II(h)(3)

 

         Plc 1003.01  Purpose and Applicability

 

         (a)  The purpose of this part is to recognize the value of the many professionals who volunteer to serve on the boards, commissions, and councils established to regulate various professions in order to safeguard the public health, safety, welfare, environment, and the public trust of the citizens of the State of New Hampshire, by establishing the rates at which members of such boards, commissions, and councils will be compensated for their attendance at meetings and partially reimbursed for expenses.

 

         (b)  This part shall apply to those boards, commissions, and councils supported by the office of professional licensure and certification (OPLC), as listed in RSA 310-A:1-a, I, hereinafter referred to as “supported boards, commissions, or councils”, to the extent the rules do not conflict with any statutes that address per diems or expense reimbursement.

         Plc 1003.02  Definitions.  For purposes of this part and for reimbursement, the following definitions shall apply:

 

         (a)  “Meeting” means a convening of a quorum of a supported board, commission, or council for the purpose of conducting official business within the jurisdiction of the body, whether conducted in-person or, if authorized by law to do so, held via electronic means or conducted in-person with participation via electronic means by one or more members of the body or the public, or both, provided that if a meeting is continued so as to occur on more than one calendar day, each day that any part of the meeting occurs shall be a separate meeting for purposes of per diem and expense reimbursement.  The term includes meetings of a quorum of a statutorily-created committee or subcommittee of a supported board, commission, or council.

 

         (b)  “Member” means an individual who has been appointed as required by applicable law to serve on a supported board, commission, or council or on a subunit.

 

          (c)  “Reimbursable expenses” means:

 

(1)  Mileage, parking, and tolls as determined pursuant to Plc 1003.05 for all supported boards, commissions, and councils; and

         (d) “Sub-unit” means a statutorily-created committee or subcommittee of a supported board, commission, or council.
