Title: Relating to state employee travel expenses; to amend Sections 36-7-20 and 36-7-21, Code of Alabama, to provide that a person traveling inside the State of Alabama in the service of the state or any of its departments, institutions, boards, bureaus, commissions, councils, committees, or other like agencies to be provided the uniform per diem or to be reimbursed for their actual out-of-pocket expenses when traveling within the state on official business.
Description: Existing law provides for a uniform per diem, which is a standard expense daily allowance payable to state employees, including employees of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs, for their nontransportation expenses incurred in work-related travel within Alabama.
This bill would permit officials and employees of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs to instead be reimbursed for their actual out-of-pocket expenses when their travel promotes the goals of their department.
This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
Subjects: Dept of Economic and Community Affairs; reimburse employees for actual expenses for in-state travel
