AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 3-1-106, which governs the expenses and allowances for members of the General Assembly, by reducing the distance from the state capitol that a member's principal residence must be located to receive the hotel portion of their per diem, a daily allowance to cover lodging costs, from fifty miles to twenty-five miles. Additionally, members whose residences are within this new twenty-five-mile radius will no longer be eligible to receive a daily mileage allowance, which is a payment for travel expenses. This change aims to adjust the criteria for reimbursement of lodging and travel expenses for state legislators based on their proximity to the capitol.
