Note changes to mileage and in-state lodging rates Rates for mileage and in-state lodging were changed during the past legislative session. Both of these changes will take effect August 1. Senate Bill 2064, Section 1d allows the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to establish an in-state lodging rate not to exceed 90 percent of the rate established by the United States General Services Administration, plus applicable state and local taxes. At the time of this writing, 90 percent of the GSA rate for lodging in North Dakota is $63. The GSA may periodically change the rate for lodging and OMB will adjust the in-state lodging rate accordingly during the biennium. Senate Bill 2064, Section 7, 1c changes the mileage reimbursement to that established by the United States GSA. At the time of this writing the rate was 55 cents per mile, however, the GSA may change the rate several times during the biennium. Again, both of these changes will be effective for travel occurring August 1 and after.
