follows:
  2. The governing board of the municipal corporation or  fire  district
by  resolution  may provide for the payment, in the same manner as other
claims against the municipal corporation or fire district  are  audited,
allowed  and paid, of all actual and necessary expenses of travel, meals
and lodging necessarily and reasonably incurred by such  volunteer  fire
officers  and  firefighters  in [apppearing] APPEARING before a court or
other tribunal. Such resolution may also provide for  the  reimbursement
of  all  actual  lost  wages necessarily and reasonably incurred by such
volunteer fire officers and firefighters, up to a maximum of  [one]  TWO

teer fire officer or firefighter, he may be paid  a  reasonable  mileage
allowance  for  each  mile  actually  and necessarily traveled by him in
appearing before such court or other tribunal. If  such  claim  includes
any  amount  for  actual  lost  wages, a statement by the volunteer fire
officer's or firefighter's employer shall be  attached.  Any  claim  for
such  expenses or reimbursement shall have endorsed thereon, or attached
thereto, a statement by the chief officer of the fire department or fire
district that he was notified of the volunteer fire officer's  or  fire-
fighter's  receipt of a subpoena requiring him to appear and give testi-
mony before a court or other tribunal,  such  chief  officer's  authori-
zation therefor and copy of such subpoena.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
