Proposed Mileage Increase

Does anyone know if the governor kept the mileage in the budget or if it was "line itemed" out?

I think we are getting the 44.5 cents a mile in July.....

No we may not be getting the increase this year. It was tied to another judicial bill concerning DJJ and their equipement. Bush lined through many specifics in that package. Don't know how his doing so for sure effects the travel increase as there were several passed bills packaged together.

Don't believe the above quote. It was it's own bill:

I don't know if the governor signed it though.

Don't believe the above quote. It was it's own bill:
Reading the text of that bill I don't see where it applies to your vehicle usage in day-to-day activities. Seems geared more towards actual 'travel', as in overnight stays in other cities, states and countries. Is F.S. §112.061 the statute currently used to pay your auto expense?

(7) TRANSPORTATION.--

10 (d)1. The use of privately owned vehicles for official

11 travel in lieu of publicly owned vehicles or common carriers

12 may be authorized by the agency head or his or her designee.

13 Whenever travel is by privately owned vehicle:,

14 a. A The traveler shall be entitled to a mileage

15 allowance at a fixed rate of 44.5 25 cents per mile

Statutes Referenced by this Bill
0112.061

new 44.5 mileage rate effective July 1.

Well, the law may authorize the payment of 44+ cents per mile...

The real question is...did the legislature fund the bill. Without the funding the issue is moot.

Appears it was approved by the Governor:
