Legislators per diem, mileage, meal payments and reimbursements provisions modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota legislators' reimbursement rules for travel and living expenses. It creates two new categories based on distance from the Capitol: legislators living more than 50 miles away may receive per diem payments and weekly or daily mileage reimbursement (depending on housing stipend status), while those living 50 miles or closer receive daily mileage and meal stipends during legislative sessions. The bill also updates special session reimbursement limits to cap travel costs at one round trip per week. These changes directly affect all Minnesota state legislators who travel to the Capitol for legislative work. The modifications clarify and adjust existing compensation provisions without changing base pay amounts.
