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 cost of operating an automobile for business purposes. It repeals the existing law that provides for a fixed $0.18 per mile rate with biannual adjustments based on changes in gasoline prices, and instead ties the state's mileage reimbursement rate to the IRS rate, which is periodically adjusted for inflation.
