H 881 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to expense reimbursement for members of the General Assembly

H.881 would allow Vermont General Assembly members to receive reimbursement for public transit fares instead of mileage reimbursement for travel expenses. This change provides an alternative to the current system, where legislators are paid based on miles driven for official travel. The bill directly affects all state legislators who incur travel costs for legislative duties. It modifies reimbursement policy to cover public transit fares as a valid expense option.
