     First class and business class commercial air carrier accommodations may not be used by any state or local government officer, whether elected or appointed, and any state or local government employee who travels by commercial airlines in the discharge of the duties of his or her position or employment at public expense unless otherwise required as a reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities or where an emergency would warrant such travel or where the additional cost is paid personally by the traveler.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 76.  A new section is added to chapter 42.04 RCW to read as follows:

     No frequent flyer mileage credit may enure to the personal benefit of any state or local government officer, whether elected or appointed, and any state or local government employee as a result of travel on a commercial air carrier at public expense."
