Section 29-6-4

Compensation and expenses of members.

Members of the Legislative Council shall receive the same compensation and expenses for attendance of each meeting of the council or of any committee thereof as do members of the Legislature for attendance at sessions of the Legislature or for attendance of interim legislative committee or subcommittee meetings, based upon the rates of payment that are greater. Additionally, members of the Legislative Council, for attendance of a meeting of the council, shall receive a mileage allowance based on the mileage rate allowed by the Internal Revenue Code for income tax deductions per mile in lieu of actual expenses for transportation. For attendances at conferences and meetings outside the State of Alabama on Legislative Council business, the members shall receive the same compensation as do members of the Legislature, and actual, necessary expenses and transportation expenses. All such compensation and expenses authorized by this section shall be paid from funds appropriated to the use of the Legislative Council.
