SB 2187: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 2 of section 44-08-04 and subsection 2 of section 54-03-20 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to lodging, compensation, and expense reimbursement.

SB 2187 sets new daily reimbursement rates for state employees traveling within North Dakota, with tiered rates based on time of day (e.g., $9 for 6 a.m.-12 p.m., $22 for 6 p.m.-12 a.m.). It caps lodging expenses at 90% of U.S. General Services Administration rates and establishes monthly reimbursement limits for legislators tied to these daily rates. The bill directly affects state employees and legislative members who incur travel costs for work-related duties. These changes amend specific sections of North Dakota’s Century Code to standardize and limit reimbursement amounts for lodging and travel expenses.
