Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HB 71 increases the daily subsistence allowance for meals from $26 to $51 for members of the General Assembly traveling outside North Carolina. This change is significant because it reflects a higher support level for lawmakers while they are on official business, potentially making it easier for them to conduct their duties without the burden of food costs during travel. Additionally, it ensures that their lodging expenses can be fully covered when appropriate receipts are provided.
