An Act relating to a meals and incidental expense allowance for state officials and employees; and providing for an effective date.

HB 300 establishes a new daily meal and incidental expense allowance for Alaska state officials and employees on official travel. It sets a $82 daily rate for the first 30 days of travel and reduces it to $45 per day after the 30th day. The allowance will automatically adjust every three years starting July 2029 based on changes to Alaska's Consumer Price Index. This policy directly affects state workers traveling for official business, covering costs for meals and minor expenses during trips.
