What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``Reserve Forces Travel Fairness Act'', proposes to amend title 37 of the United States Code. It aims to allow members of the uniformed services to be reimbursed for motor vehicle rental costs. This applies to travel related to reserve component inactive-duty training or Ready Reserve muster duty. The reimbursement is for instances where the duty is performed more than 150 miles from the member's permanent residence. The amendment would cover the entire period of training or duty, as well as a travel day before or after.
