This bill amends Section 2.10 of the Iowa Code regarding the payment of per diem to members of the general assembly. It establishes that members, excluding certain leadership positions, will receive an annual salary of $25,000 and a per diem for office expenses during legislative sessions. The bill specifies that if the first regular session exceeds 55 calendar days or the second regular session exceeds 50 calendar days, per diem payments will only be made for those respective limits, replacing the previous thresholds of 110 and 100 calendar days.

Additionally, the bill maintains that members from Polk County will receive a per diem amount equal to three-fourths of that received by non-Polk County members. Each member will also receive a $300 monthly allowance for various expenses, and travel expenses will be reimbursed based on established rates for actual travel to and from the seat of government. The changes aim to streamline the per diem payment structure for legislative sessions.
