Bill Summary

This bill provides that the mileage reimbursement rate payable to a State officer or employee driving a private automobile on State business will be the same as the standard mileage rate established by the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the deductible cost of operating an automobile for business purposes. State law provides that the State's mileage reimbursement rate would be 18 cents per mile and that this rate would be adjusted biannually to reflect changes in gasoline prices. Annual appropriations acts have adjusted this mileage reimbursement rate. It is necessary to establish the State's rate at the same level as the IRS rate (as adjusted periodically for inflation) in order to fairly compensate State officers and employees who drive their own vehicles on public business. The bill repeals N.J.S.A.52:14-17.1a which provides that the $0.18 per mile rate in the law would be adjusted twice each year to reflect changes in the price of gasoline.

AI Summary

This bill sets the mileage reimbursement rate for state officers and employees driving their own vehicles on state business at the same rate as the standard mileage rate established by the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business purposes. The bill repeals the existing state law that provides for a fixed mileage reimbursement rate of $0.18 per mile, which is adjusted biannually to reflect changes in gasoline prices. The purpose of the bill is to fairly compensate state officers and employees who use their personal vehicles for official state business by aligning the reimbursement rate with the IRS rate, which is periodically adjusted for inflation.
