Sets State's mileage reimbursement rate at IRS rate for business use of automobile.
This bill sets New Jersey's mileage reimbursement rate for state employees using personal vehicles for official business at the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) standard rate for business automobile expenses, rather than the current fixed $0.18 per mile rate. It directly affects state officers and employees who travel for work using their own cars. The key change repeals the current requirement to adjust the rate biannually based on gasoline prices, instead adopting the IRS rate - which changes annually based on business cost calculations. This eliminates the state's separate adjustment process for fuel costs and aligns reimbursement with federal standards.
