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 requirement for receiving certain reimbursements. Specifically, it lowers the threshold from fifty miles to twenty-five miles that a member's principal residence must be from the capitol building for them to be eligible for the hotel portion of their per diem, which is a daily allowance to cover living expenses. Furthermore, members who reside 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. These changes aim to adjust the criteria for reimbursement based on proximity to the state capitol.
