What This Bill Does
It raises the maximum daily compensation from $100 to $150 per day. It raises the maximum annual compensation from $24,000 to $36,000 per year, with travel and other expenses still covered separately as allowed. The board's composition and other rules remain the same, with three Governor-appointed members (employer, employee, and public interest) supported by the Department of Labor.

Who It Affects
Board of Appeals members: could be paid up to the new daily and annual caps for duties and travel.
State budget / Department of Labor (and Department of Industrial Relations): funding for the higher compensation would come from appropriations, potentially affecting budget needs.
