HB 2760 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes sections 38-624 and 41-1104 regarding legislative per diem and travel reimbursement for state legislators.

• Changes legislative subsistence allowance from fixed dollar amounts ($35/day base, with additional amounts based on county) to amounts determined annually by the director of the department of administration based on federal per diem rates for Maricopa County.

• Establishes two tiers: members with permanent residence within Maricopa County receive 50% of the annual average federal per diem rate for Maricopa County; members with permanent residence outside Maricopa County receive 100% of that rate.

• Modifies the reduced subsistence rate after 120 days of a regular session to 50% of the amount determined annually by the director, rather than a fixed $10/day amount.

• Clarifies that long-term subsistence allowances for legislators are established separately from state employee guidelines under section 41-1104.
