MT SB26

Legislators, jurors, witnesses, county agents, and other persons using personal motor vehicles for official duties will receive mileage reimbursement at the full IRS standard mileage rate for the current year

Eliminates the previous tiered structure that paid the IRS rate for the first 1,000 miles then reduced reimbursement by 3 cents per mile for additional miles traveled within a calendar month

State officers and employees choosing to use personal vehicles when government vehicles are available remain limited to 48.15% of the IRS mileage rate

State officers and employees using personal vehicles when government vehicles are unavailable continue to receive the full IRS rate for the first 1,000 miles, then 3 cents less per mile thereafter

Effective immediately upon passage and approval
