During this past legislative session, SB 2084 amended laws found in North Dakota Century Code (NDCC) related to reimbursement of lodging and travel by state employees\u00a0in two important ways.\u00a0These changes will be effective for travel occurring on or after August 1st, 2025.\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  • \n
    For IN-STATE LODGING: NDCC 44-08-04 will allow for 100% of the GSA rate for North Dakota, plus any applicable state or local taxes, to be claimed. Under current law only 90% of the GSA rate for lodging in-state could be claimed. The GSA rate is currently set at $110 through September 2025. GSA updates lodging rates annually beginning October 1st.<\/div>\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    For EMPLOYEES PERMANENTLY LOCATED OUTSIDE THE STATE (or on assignments outside the state for an indefinite period exceeding at least 30 days) NDCC 54-06-09 will now allow those employees to claim the full GSA rate per mile for personal vehicle mileage. Under current law those employees were limited by statute to a rate of $0.45 per mile. The GSA rate for personal vehicle mileage is currently set at $0.70 per mile. GSA updates personal vehicle mileage rates annually beginning January 1st.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    UND’s Travel policy will be updated to reflect these changes on or around August 1st. These changes to NDCC do not preclude departments from setting more restrictive reimbursement rates for travelers in accordance with UND Travel policy.<\/div>\n
