JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Engaging in another profession.

- This section does not include any qualification of membership or any penalty by forfeiture of office for engaging in another business or profession. Partain v. Maddox, 227 Ga. 623, 182 S.E.2d 450 (1971).

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Per diem defined.

- Words "per diem" are commonly used to cover an allowance for expenses of officials or agents while they are upon official or proper business away from their regular headquarters or base. 1948-49 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 415.

Purpose of the General Assembly in passing this article was to provide, in addition to the salary paid the board members, a subsistence allowance of a certain amount per month, plus transportation fare and per diem if travel is made by railroad or bus, or the regular mileage fee when a private car is used in the performance of official duties. Hence, the board members are entitled to receive the monthly subsistence plus transportation and per diem. 1948-49 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 415.

Members of State Board of Pardons and Paroles may receive subsistence payment each month and may receive expenses for lodging and meals incurred while traveling upon official business. 1948-49 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 415.
