This bill allows
2-3 employees within the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency
Management, Maine Emergency Management Agency, to use a state-owned or
state-leased vehicle to commute from home to work. While this may increase the number of miles
and maintenance costs of these vehicles, there will be times when commuting
directly from home to an emergency location may reduce the miles driven.
During a non-federally declared emergency the cost would be shared 50% with
state funding and 50% with federal grant money. During federally declared
disasters the cost would be reimbursable up to at least 75% with federal
funds with any remainder covered by state funding. It is not anticipated that
the net cost to the State will be significant. |
