What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill limits reimbursement amounts for University of Wisconsin System employees for lodging expenses to the maximum reimbursement amounts available to other state employees.
Under current law, the Department of Administration recommends to the legislative Joint Committee on Employment Relations uniform travel schedule amounts for travel by state employees, including maximum amounts allowed for lodging costs. The uniform travel schedule amounts approved by JCOER are incorporated into the state compensation plan and generally apply to state employees but do not apply to employees of the UW System. Instead, the Board of Regents of the UW System must establish travel policies for UW System employees and a schedule for the reimbursement of UW System employees for travel expenses.

Under this bill, the UW System's schedule for reimbursement of travel expenses may not provide for reimbursement for lodging expenses incurred in this state at a rate that exceeds the maximum rate for lodging expenses incurred in the same location in this state under the approved uniform travel schedule incorporated into the current state compensation plan.
