promulgated pursuant to 5 U.S.C. | 5 | | 5707(b)(2) beginning January 9, 1985, for the number

computed by the Comptroller. A member | 11 | | traveling by public
transportation for such purposes, however, | 12 | | shall be paid his actual cost
of that transportation instead of | 13 | | on the mileage rate if his cost of
public transportation | 14 | | exceeds the amount to which he would be entitled
on a mileage | 15 | | basis. No member may be paid, whether on a mileage basis
or for | 16 | | actual costs of public transportation, for more than one such

| 21 | | 1985, such food and lodging allowance shall be equal to the | 22 | | amount per day
permitted to be deducted for such expenses under | 23 | | the Internal Revenue Code;
however, beginning May 31, 1995, no | 24 | | allowance for food and lodging while in
attendance at sessions | 25 | | is authorized for periods of time after the last day in
May of | 26 | | each calendar year, except (i) if the General Assembly is |

in | 7 | | Section 9 of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution. For | 8 | | fiscal year 2011 and for session days in fiscal years 2012, | 9 | | 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 only (i) the | 10 | | allowance for lodging and meals is $111 per day and (ii) | 11 | | mileage for automobile travel shall be reimbursed at a rate of | 12 | | $0.39 per mile. | 13 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, | 14 | | beginning in fiscal year 2012, travel reimbursement for
General | 15 | | Assembly members on non-session days shall be

as compensation, the unpaid balance shall be | 22 | | paid to the surviving
spouse of such member, or, if there be | 23 | | none, to the estate of such member. | 24 | | (Source: P.A. 99-355, eff. 8-13-15; 99-523, eff. 6-30-16; | 25 | | 100-25, eff. 7-26-17; 100-587, eff. 6-4-18.)
