· By limiting the circumstances under which a General Assembly member is entitled to receive travel reimbursement, the bill may reduce the amount of moneys that the House of Representatives and the Senate might otherwise have expended for such purposes. The potential size of this savings effect will be, at most, minimal. Minimal herein means less than $100,000 per year for the state.

Detailed Fiscal Analysis
The bill requires that, in order to receive travel reimbursement per mile each way, a General Assembly member must in fact travel from or to the member's place of residence and to or from the seat of government. Based on LSC fiscal staff's conversations with the fiscal officers of the House of Representatives and the Senate, this requirement may create a minimal savings effect by reducing the amount of appropriated GRF moneys that might otherwise have been expended on travel reimbursement. Minimal means less than $100,000 per year for the state.
