New Policy Sparks Boards Demand for Own Attorneys
Budget hearings reveal plans to end separate attorney salaries for small state boards and commissions. The State Board of Medical Registration and Examination protested the removal of its $2,100 attorney line, arguing a part time, longtime attorney is needed. Governor Hall left open restoration and urged fee discipline for cosmetology and entomology boards while boosting aviation and tourism funds. The labor department faces costs from a new labor-management relations law, with added printing travel and space needs as elections oversee supervisor duties.
