SB393

Senate Bill 393 modifies the administrative procedure for authorizing travel and setting reimbursement amounts for Arkansas General Assembly members attending regional or national conferences. The bill removes the requirement for written authorization from the Speaker of the House or the President Pro Tempore of the Senate before travel. Instead, it mandates that these leaders, or their designated representatives, determine the specific dollar amount for reimbursement of conference expenses. The bill aims to streamline the oversight process for legislative travel and expense reimbursement. It does not alter the underlying eligibility for travel or the total budgetary appropriation for such activities.
