HB80 provides a $12 per working day, tax-free subsistence allowance for certain state law enforcement officers, retroactive to October 1, 2019 (including those in the Investigations Division of the Department of Revenue and the Department of Mental Health).
It amends Section 36-21-2 to require a subsistence payment for law enforcement officers in specified state agencies who perform duties as officers. The allowance is $12 for each working day in a pay period when they work at least four hours within a 24-hour period, and it is in addition to their regular pay. The payment is not subject to state income tax and is funded from specific dedicated funds depending on officer type. The act applies retroactively to Oct. 1, 2019, and covers eligible employees in good standing, including those in the Investigations Division of the Department of Revenue between Oct. 1, 2019 and Feb. 1, 2020.
