Bill Summary

To prohibit any reduction in the amount of the per diem allowance to which members of the uniformed services or civilian employees of the Department of Defense are entitled based on the duration of temporary duty assignments or official travel, and for other purposes. Prohibits uniformed service agencies or the Department of Defense (DOD) from altering the amount of the locality-based travel and transportation per diem allowances or reimbursements to which certain uniformed service members or civilian DOD employees are entitled based on the duration of temporary duty assignments or official travel in a locality. Nullifies the DOD policy implemented on November 1, 2014, regarding reductions in per diem allowances based on the duration of temporary duty assignments or civilian travel.

AI Summary

This bill aims to prevent any decrease in the per diem allowance, which is a daily payment meant to cover expenses like lodging and meals, for members of the uniformed services (like the military) and civilian employees of the Department of Defense (DOD) when they are on temporary duty assignments or official travel. Specifically, it prohibits the DOD and uniformed service agencies from reducing these allowances based on how long the assignment or travel lasts in a particular location. The bill also explicitly nullifies a DOD policy from November 1, 2014, that allowed for such reductions, meaning that policy will no longer be in effect.
