| EFFECT: Removes the discretion of an agency to provide a stipend when the agency determines participation by low-income individuals or people with lived experience is desirable to implement the principles of equity, thereby requiring agencies to instead offer such stipends to all individuals who qualify as low-income or a person with lived experience. Requires that, subject to available funding, agencies provide stipends and allowances to an individual who is an owner or employee of a small business to support their participation in class one groups, provided that the individual is not otherwise compensated for their attendance at meetings. Defines "small business" as a business with 10 or fewer employees, except for businesses where the owner is the only employee. Removes the requirement that the Office of Equity develop guidelines for agencies on the issuance of stipends and allowances.
