To Appropriations. <br />CRWCD Position: Support <br />CWC Position: Support <br />SB 06 -173 CONCERNING MILEAGE ALLOWANCES FOR STATE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES. <br />Sponsors: Entz, Marshall <br />Summary: Modifies the mileage allowance that state officers and employees receive for each mile <br />actually and necessarily traveled while on official state business. <br />Analysis: The River District has supported in the past efforts to increase the mileage reimbursement <br />rates for water commissioners. This bill addresses all state employees. The state currently reimburses <br />only 63% of the federally allowable mileage rate. SB 173 will increase the rate initially to 80% and then <br />90% of the federal rate. <br />Status: Passed Senate Finance Committee. To Appropriations. <br />CRWCD Position: Support • <br />CWC Position: Support <br />
