travel mileage rate fees for sheriffs, deputy sheriffs and constables
This bill (H 5119) authorizes the Municipalities and Regional Government committee to investigate current travel mileage rate fees for sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and constables. It directs the committee to study House Document 2279 on this topic and report recommendations, including draft legislation, to the General Court by December 31, 2026. The bill itself does not change fees or create new policies - it only sets up a formal review process. This procedural step affects local law enforcement personnel whose travel reimbursement rates are under examination. The committee must complete its study and propose any changes by the 2026 deadline.
