Title 42 › CHAPTER 145 — PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICER MEDAL OF VALOR AND TRIBUTES › § 15203
Summary
Board members are paid for each day they work for the Board, including travel days. The pay equals the daily version of the annual basic pay for Level IV of the Executive Schedule (see section 5315 of title 5). If a member already works as a U.S., state, or local government officer or employee, they do not get extra pay. Members can be reimbursed for travel costs, including per diem, at the same rates federal agencies use (see subchapter I of chapter 57 of title 5).
