SUMMARY

Synopsis of SFl Amendment No.1

The amendment deletes "out-of-state" from the title of the bill, strikes reference to "privately owned" automobiles in the in-state travel provisions and adds an emergency clause.

Synopsis of Bill

The proposal allows legislators traveling out-of-state to be reimbursed for:

• •airport parking;
• •mileage for rental cars; and
• •mileage for private airplanes pursuant to Department of Finance and Administration rules for private aircraft rates.

Significant Issues

Legislators are not currently reimbursed for these costs under the current law.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

Although there is no appropriation contained in the bill, the budgets of the Legislative Council, Legislative Finance Committee, Legislative Education Study Committee and the interim legislative committees will be minimally impacted for those members that travel out-of-state on committee business during the interim. An increased appropriation may not be required.
