Summary of Legislation: The bill changes the deadline for the General Assembly to adjourn sine die in an
odd-numbered year from April 29 to April 15.
Effective Date: July 1, 2022.
Explanation of State Expenditures: Summary– The bill would decrease General Assembly expenditures
by an estimated $0.23 M in FY 2023.
The estimate includes state Senate and House members’ per diem and mileage expenditures. It is likely other
operating and supply costs would decrease slightly in odd state fiscal years as a result of the bill.
Additional Information– As of October 1, 2021, legislators receive $196 per diem for every day they are in
session or conducting legislative business and $78.40 per diem for every day they are not in session. The

expenses for federal employees while away from home as established in the Federal Register. This amount
changes annually. The $78.40 per diem reimbursement for non-session days is established in P.L. 165-2021
as 40% of the legislative business per diem.
