Under current law, a court interpreter receives fees for travel to the place where the interpreter provides services. A court interpreter who resides within the state receives fees corresponding to the mileage traveled between the interpreter's residence and the place of attendance. An interpreter who resides and travels from outside of the state receives fees corresponding to the mileage traveled between the state border and the place of attendance. This bill provides that an interpreter who resides and travels from outside of the state may also receive fees corresponding to up to 100 miles traveled outside of the state from the interpreter's residence to the state boundary and for up to 100 miles traveled outside of the state on return from the state boundary to the interpreter's residence.
