AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||

| ||||
Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing | ||||
Section 12-2 as follows:
| ||||
(30 ILCS 105/12-2) (from Ch. 127, par. 148-2)
| ||||
Sec. 12-2. (a) The chairmen of the travel control boards | ||||
established
by Section 12-1, or their designees, shall together | ||||
comprise the Travel
Regulation Council. The Travel Regulation | ||||
Council shall be chaired by the
Director of Central Management | ||||
Services, who shall be a nonvoting member of
the Council, | ||||
unless he is otherwise qualified to vote by virtue of being
the | ||||
designee of a voting member. No later than March 1, 1986, and | ||||
at least
biennially thereafter, the Council shall adopt State | ||||
Travel Regulations and
Reimbursement Rates which shall be | ||||
applicable to all personnel subject to
the jurisdiction of the | ||||
travel control boards established by Section 12-1.
An | ||||
affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Council | ||||
shall be
required to adopt regulations and reimbursement rates. | ||||
If the Council
fails to adopt regulations by March 1 of any | ||||
odd-numbered year, the
Director of Central Management Services | ||||
shall adopt emergency regulations
and reimbursement rates | ||||
pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
| ||||
(b) Mileage for automobile travel shall be reimbursed at | ||
the allowance
rate in effect under regulations promulgated | ||
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5707(b)(2).
However, in the event the rate | ||
set under federal regulations increases during
the course of | ||
the State's fiscal year, the effective date of the new rate | ||
shall
be the July 1 immediately following the change in the | ||
federal rate.
In the event the rate set under federal | ||
regulations increases or decreases during the
course of the | ||
State's fiscal year, the effective date of the new rate shall | ||
be
the effective date of the change in the federal rate.
| ||
(c) Rates for reimbursement of expenses other than mileage | ||
shall not
exceed the actual cost of travel as determined by the | ||
United States
Internal Revenue Service.
| ||
(d) Reimbursements to travelers shall be made pursuant to | ||
the rates and
regulations applicable to the respective State | ||
agency as of the effective
date of this amendatory Act, until | ||
the State Travel Regulations and
Reimbursement Rates | ||
established by this Section are adopted and effective.
| ||
(e) Lodging in Cook County, Illinois and the District of | ||
Columbia shall be
reimbursed at the maximum lodging rate in | ||
effect under regulations promulgated
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. | ||
5701-5709. For purposes of this subsection (e), the
District of
| ||
Columbia shall include the cities and counties included in the | ||
per diem
locality of the
District of Columbia, as defined by | ||
the regulations in effect promulgated
pursuant to 5
U.S.C. | ||
5701-5709. Individual travel control boards may set a lodging
| ||
reimbursement rate
more restrictive than the rate set forth in | ||
the federal regulations.
