§8.2 Mileage Allowance

unit shall be consistent with the maximum mileage allowance permitted by

the Internal Revenue Service. Such payments shall be made in accordance
with the Rules and Regulations of the Comptroller as interpreted by the

The State agrees, contingent upon continuation of Legislative approval

provided to the Island, which service has been discontinued, and (b) there is

at other work locations.

vehicles for those persons eligible for such allowance when authorized to

transport clients or residents.

building or construction materials, the State agrees to provide, subject to the
