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.
