North Dakota legislators' monthly lodging cap rises from 30 times 70% to 30 times 75% of the daily lodging rate. The state budget director resets it each August 1 in even-numbered years for the next two years. It covers in-state lodging during organizational, special, or regular sessions, subject to each calendar day's applicable rate. Members can claim less by submitting a voucher with required receipts. Legislative management can set guidelines reducing caps for shared housing when combined rent exceeds one member's entitlement.
North Dakota state officers and employees get the full federal lodging rate for their in-state city, plus applicable taxes. This replaces 90% of that rate; the state budget director sets a policy when no federal rate is available. The law removes the midnight–6 a.m. reimbursement quarter and sets lodging payments separately. In-state travel allowances are $9 for 6 a.m.–noon, $14 for noon–6 p.m., and $22 for 6 p.m.–midnight. The $9 allowance requires travel to begin no later than 7 a.m.
Qualifying North Dakota state employees get the federal General Services Administration mileage rate instead of 45 cents per mile. This covers employees permanently based outside North Dakota or assigned there indefinitely for more than 30 consecutive days. Reimbursement covers necessary official driving outside the state, and the law's 300-mile restriction does not apply. Payments can be higher or lower than before, depending on the applicable federal rate.
