296.2. Except in the case of a council member already receiving the maximum amount prescribed under section 19 of the Act respecting the remuneration of elected municipal officers (chapter T-11.001) from a municipality for a fiscal year, every member of the council receives from the Regional Government, for that fiscal year, an indemnity to defray the part of the expenses incident to the member’s duties that are not reimbursed pursuant to subsection 1 of section 260 or the third paragraph of section 281. A member’s indemnity for a fiscal year is the lesser of(1) the quotient obtained by dividing the total remuneration the member receives for that fiscal year under section 296.1 by 2; and
(2) the difference obtained by subtracting the indemnity the member receives from a municipality for that fiscal year from the maximum amount prescribed under section 19 of the Act respecting the remuneration of elected municipal officers.
In the case of a chairman or vice-chairman of the executive committee who, after availing himself of the power provided for in section 280.1, was not a member of the council of a municipality for any part of the fiscal year, the amount of his indemnity for that fiscal year is equal to the maximum amount prescribed under section 19 of the Act respecting the remuneration of elected municipal officers.
When the result of the operation under subparagraph 1 or 2 of the second paragraph is a mixed number, only the integer is used and it is rounded up if the first decimal is greater than 4.
