subdivision 2.  If members who are full time state employees or 
employees of the political subdivisions of the state shall not 
receive the $35 per day, and if the major part of their 
activities occur during normal working hours for which they are 
also compensated by the state or political subdivision, the 
employer shall deduct the $35 from the employee's compensation 
for that day.  In no other case shall a board member who is an 
employee of the state or political subdivision shall suffer no a 
loss in compensation or benefits as a result of their service on 
the board.  Members who are state employees or employees of the 
political subdivisions of the state may receive the expenses 
provided for in this subdivision unless the expenses are 
reimbursed by another source.  A state employee who serves on a
