1. Except as otherwise provided in this section and NRS 218A.655, each Legislator is entitled to receive, during the legislative interim, an allowance for travel within the State to participate in a meeting of a legislative committee or subcommittee of which the Legislator is not a member or with an officer, employee, agency, board, bureau, commission, department, division, district or other unit of federal, state or local government or any other public entity regarding an issue relating to the State.
2. The allowance for travel payable pursuant to this section applies only to trips whose one-way distance is 50 miles or more or whose round-trip distance is 100 miles or more.
3. The maximum allowance for travel payable to each Legislator pursuant to this section during a legislative interim is $3,000, except that no allowance for travel pursuant to this section is payable to a Legislator for travel that occurs during the legislative interim at any time after the date on which the Legislator has filed a declaration of candidacy for an elective office and remains a candidate for that office.
4. Transportation must be by the most economical means, considering total cost and time spent in transit. The allowance is:
(a) If the travel is by private conveyance, the standard mileage reimbursement rate for which a deduction is allowed for the purposes of federal income tax.
(b) If the travel is not by private conveyance, the actual amount expended.
5. Claims made pursuant to this section must be paid from the Legislative Fund unless otherwise provided by specific statute. A claim must not be paid unless the Legislator submits a signed statement affirming:
(a) The date of travel;
(b) The purpose of the travel and of the participant’s attendance; and
(c) The places of departure and arrival and, if the travel is by private conveyance, the actual miles traveled. If the travel is not by private conveyance, the claim must include a receipt or other evidence of the expenditure.
