South Dakota legislators' mileage reimbursement will now be based on the federal IRS business mileage rate (adjusted annually on October 1st) instead of a rate set by the state Board of Finance. The bill also ties the daily living expense allowance to whichever is greater: the current $123 per day or the federal IRS per diem rate for that year, ensuring legislators' reimbursements automatically adjust with federal tax standards.
