State employees; require reimbursement for travel expenses to be paid within 10 days of submitting expense documentation.

HB 723 requires Mississippi state employees to receive reimbursement for approved travel expenses within 10 business days of submitting complete documentation. This applies specifically to state officers and employees (not county or municipal staff) who travel for official duties using personal vehicles or other means. The bill mandates that departments must process these reimbursements by the 10-day deadline, which is a new requirement added to existing travel expense rules. It does not change mileage rates, meal allowances, or other reimbursement standards - only the timeline for payment. The bill died in committee before becoming law.
