XXII § 4 XXII § 4

Members of the judicial council get their travel costs covered when they attend meetings for their work. This includes things like mileage, hotel stays, and other travel expenses that come up while doing council business.

The money for these expenses comes from funds that the state legislature gives to the Louisiana Supreme Court. The amount each member can be paid follows the same travel rules that apply to other state business, so there are limits on what can be reimbursed and how it gets calculated.

In short, this rule makes sure council members are not paying out of pocket to do their job, while also keeping their reimbursements in line with standard state guidelines.
