Bill > S1739

This bill aims to ensure fairness and proper oversight in how state funds are reimbursed. It proposes to repeal a specific section from a 2014 law, effectively removing it from the books. Additionally, the bill makes changes to Section 28 of Chapter 7 of the General Laws, which likely deals with state expenditures and reimbursements. Specifically, it expands the types of expenses that can be reimbursed to include "lodging, entertainment, airfare and other travel expenses" beyond just meals, and clarifies that reimbursements can be made from any fund created by the commonwealth. It also removes language that limited these reimbursements to entities that receive state appropriations, broadening the scope of what is covered. Finally, it strikes out a section of the existing law, likely to streamline or update the reimbursement process.
