N.Y. Public Service Law § 13: Expenses

§ 13. Expenses. All officers, clerks, inspectors, experts and

employees of the commission shall receive the compensation fixed by the

chairman of the commission within the amounts appropriated therefor by

the legislature. The commissioners and counsel to the commission may

receive, in lieu of expenses, twenty-five dollars per day, and a

proportionate amount thereof for each fraction of a day, while engaged

in the performance of official duties at a place other than the city to

which they are regularly assigned, and shall be reimbursed for the

actual and necessary cost of transportation incurred by them; this

provision, however, shall not be applicable to the chairman or a

commissioner receiving a definite sum in lieu of traveling expenses. The

officers, clerks, inspectors, experts and employees, shall have

reimbursed to them all actual and necessary traveling and other expenses

and disbursements incurred or made by them in the discharge of their

official duties.
