The bill, House No. 2279, pertains to the travel mileage rate fees for sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and constables in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The committee on Municipalities and Regional Government has recommended that the accompanying order, House No. 5119, be adopted. This order authorizes the committee to conduct an investigation and study regarding the proposed changes to the travel mileage rate fees during a recess of the General Court.
The committee is tasked with reporting the results of its investigation and study, along with any recommendations and necessary legislative drafts, to the General Court by December 31, 2026. This process aims to ensure that the travel mileage rates for law enforcement officials are reviewed and potentially updated to reflect current needs and standards.
