Bill > SB386

This bill amends Georgia law to prohibit members of the General Assembly from receiving their daily expense allowance, which is a payment to cover costs like housing and meals while working in the state capital, on any day of a legislative session when a "call of the roll" is not conducted. A call of the roll is a formal process where each member's presence is recorded. The bill clarifies that to receive this allowance, a member must be present for the call of the roll and for all votes taken during that legislative day. It also makes a technical change to how any unpaid daily expense allowances are handled for deceased members, ensuring that the full amount due for a session is paid to their surviving family or estate, regardless of whether a roll call was held on every day.
