    AN ACT concerning state finance.

    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    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 changes 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.
    (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.
