matter pertaining to their employment - Witness fees - Other
reimbursement.
A. Any employee of the state or any political subdivision
thereof who is subpoenaed as a witness to testify on any matter
pertaining to their employment, including any investigation
conducted by the employee as a duty of said employment for which he
is fully compensated, shall not be entitled to receive the witness
fee and reimbursement for mileage provided for in Section 81 of this
title, except as provided for in subsection B of this section.
However, if the employee is required by the subpoena to testify in a
county other than his county of residence or employment, he shall be
entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to the State Travel
Reimbursement Act in accordance with Section 82 of this title. No
such witness shall receive such reimbursement in more than one case
covering the same period of time or the same travel. Each such
witness shall be required to make oath that the amounts claimed for
reimbursement have not been claimed or received in any other case or
from any other source.
B. It is the intent of the Legislature that court appearances
should not adversely affect the education of students enrolled in
school districts in this state. To the extent possible, court
appearances of public school district employees should be scheduled
to minimize the disruption of class time. If a school district
employee is subpoenaed to appear as a witness in a civil court
proceeding, except in a proceeding in which the school district or
the state is a party, the school district shall be entitled to a
witness fee equal to the amount of the substitute teacher cost, not
to exceed One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day.
