Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to require the Secretary of Administration to reimburse mileage equal to the federal standard mileage rate. The Department of Administration does not have the ability to provide information as to how much the State spends on mileage reimbursement as travel expenses are paid under one object code (026) in the financial system. This code includes payments for airfare, hotels, meals, etc. The State of West Virginia currently pays .44.5 cents per mile and the Federal Government currently pays .55 cents per mile. Therefore the passage of this bill would increase the cost to the State by 23.6%.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The Department of Administration does a bi-annual review of the State's mileage reimursement rate for the use of employees' privately owned vehicles. It was determinted that the rate would be 44.5 cents per mile effective January 20, 2009. This rate will be in effect until the next review in July 2009 or unless otherwise directed. The State Travel Management Office, under the Department of Administration, notifies the respective agency travel coordinators regarding the results of the bi-annual reviews.
