The mileage reimbursement rate for travel expenses of national guard members on state active duty (suggested as remedial legislation by the Department of Military Affairs). (FE)

What it does

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under one provision in current law, a member of the national guard who is called into state active duty may receive the same amount of travel expenses as the federal government pays to an officer or enlisted member of equal rank in the corresponding branch of the U.S. armed forces. A separate provision in current law prohibits mileage reimbursement that exceeds the mileage reimbursement rate for state employees, which may be less than the federal rate.

This bill authorizes mileage reimbursement at the federal rate for a member of the national guard who is called into state active duty regardless of the applicable rate for state employees.
