AND MILEAGE ALLOWANCES FOR TRAVEL BY STATE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
     292.210
Definitions for ORS 292.210 to 292.230. As used in ORS 292.210 to 292.230, unless the context otherwise
requires:

appointed state officer, including members of boards and commissions. [Amended
by 1953 c.623 §3; 1971 c.153 §1]

or state related duties.

of this section shall be deemed to be in full compensation for all and every
expense, charge or liability incurred through the use of the privately owned

taxes, insurance and maintenance and upkeep of every kind and nature.
