What’s in it

This bill relates to reimbursement of witness mileage expenses.1509, but instead receives reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred for each mile actually traveled in the performance of duties, not to exceed a maximum rate established by the supreme court. The bill provides that the supreme court shall prescribe procedures to establish the maximum rate, terms, and conditions for reimbursement of the expenses.2 (witnesses from another state required to testify in this state) is no longer entitled to 10 cents per mile but rather to reimbursement of the actual and necessary expenses incurred for each mile traveled by the most direct route to and from the proceeding the witness is required to attend, not to exceed the maximum rate established by the supreme court.
