Temporary regulations have been enacted to amend K.A.R. 1-18-1a to decrease the reimbursement rates
for privately owned vehicles for travel taking place on or after April 1, 1999. Permanent regulations will
be enacted prior to the temporary regulations expiring. These rate changes are due to changes in the maximum
mileage reimbursement allowed by the IRS. The amended rates are:
| 15¢ |
per mile for privately owned motorcycle |
| 31¢ |
per mile for privately owned automobile |
| 43¢ |
per mile for privately owned airplane |
| 43¢ |
per mile for privately owned specially equipped vehicle for the physically disabled
(Examples of specially equipped vehicles include, but are not limited to, those equipped with hand
controls or lift devices. Other situations may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis if you are uncertain
about the applicability of this rate.) |
Please note that the provision to reimburse mileage at the central motor pool rate for compact cars remains
in effect for any state employee choosing to use a privately owned automobile, when a state-owned or leased
vehicle is available for use. For FY 1999, this rate is 18¢ per mile as established by Central Motor
Pool. The complete schedule of motor pool rates has previously been distributed to all state agencies in
a memorandum from the Central Motor Pool Director.
