RECAL Act of 2021
Summary
The RECAL Act of 2021 is a proposal that would prevent the federal government from lowering travel reimbursement rates for federal employees below their 2020 levels. Specifically, it directs the General Services Administration (GSA) to ensure that lodging allowances for travel within the continental United States do not drop during the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years.
The bill’s primary impact is on the hospitality industry and federal workers who travel for business. By maintaining these reimbursement floors, the legislation aims to support hotels and local economies that rely on federal travel spending, preventing a decrease in revenue that might otherwise occur if rates were adjusted downward based on pandemic-era data.
