Last updated Aug 21, 2026|Official source

Summary

Members of the Commission who are Members of Congress, federal executive officers, Governors, or full‑time paid city or county officers must serve without extra pay beyond their regular job. They can be paid back for necessary travel and other expenses. Or they may take a per diem for meals and mileage instead, not to exceed the rates in subchapter I of chapter 57 of title 5. These expense payments apply even if other federal travel rules (including the Standardized Government Travel Regulations or section 5731(a) of title 5) would normally limit them. Other members, unless a State or local law forbids it, get $50 per day for each day they work for the Commission. They also may be reimbursed for travel, meals, and other necessary expenses in the same way described above.
