This bill amends Section 2-18-503 of the Montana Code Annotated to allow legislators, jurors, witnesses, county agents, and all other persons using their own motor vehicles for official duties to collect mileage at a rate equal to the mileage allotment set by the United States Internal Revenue Service for the current year. The previous language that limited mileage reimbursement for certain officials has been removed, allowing for a more uniform reimbursement rate for all eligible individuals.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that members of the legislature, jurors, witnesses, county agents, and all other persons, except state officers or employees, are entitled to collect mileage at the IRS rate without the previous stipulation of a reduced rate for additional miles traveled. This change aims to simplify the reimbursement process and ensure that all eligible individuals receive fair compensation for their travel expenses incurred while performing official duties. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
