Section 28-3-41
Compensation of board.
Each member of the board shall be entitled to receive $25.00 for each day actually engaged in the performance of his duties, not to exceed $2,500.00 for any year. The Governor, at his discretion, however, may at any time issue an executive order that any member of said board shall serve without compensation. In such event, and until such executive order is rescinded, any such member shall not be entitled to any compensation whatsoever for the performance of his duties as a member of said board, but he shall be entitled to the expenses provided by law for members of said board while engaged in the performance of their duties.
