Relative to travel allowance.
House Resolution 408 is a simple administrative resolution authorizing the House Chief Administrative Officer to pay a travel allowance to one named member, Tex Fischer of District 59, based on a specified round-trip mileage of 348 miles. The resolution cites Section 101.27 of the Revised Code, which governs reimbursement for members’ travel between their residence and the seat of government, and applies that rule to this individual payment.
The measure does not create a new program or change the general reimbursement formula in state law. Instead, it serves as a one-time authorization for a specific travel reimbursement under existing law, affecting only the House administrative process and the named member’s allowance. Its practical effect is limited to approving payment consistent with the mileage-based travel reimbursement framework already in the Revised Code.
HR 408 has no broad policy impact and does not amend the Ohio Revised Code. It authorizes a specific travel allowance payment for one House member under the existing mileage reimbursement statute, Section 101.27, and directs the House Chief Administrative Officer to make that payment. The only affected parties are the House administrative office and Representative Tex Fischer, whose reimbursement is approved by the resolution.
There is no recorded committee discussion or vote history in the provided materials, so the bill’s sentiment must be inferred from its form and content. The resolution appears routine and noncontroversial, reflecting a standard administrative action to authorize a mileage-based travel reimbursement. Because it is narrowly tailored and procedural, it likely drew little public or legislative debate.
No specific points of contention are documented in the available record. If any concern existed, it would most likely relate to the propriety or amount of a member’s travel reimbursement, but the resolution itself simply applies an existing statutory reimbursement rule to a named member. No opposing arguments, amendments, or recorded votes are provided.
