Yes, unless it is taken away by some rule, act or law. But, there is a caveat on this; that the immunity only exists when they are traveling to, or from, the capitol (generally speaking). It is interesting to note, that in many states this same immunity exists when a voter is traveling to, or from, a polling house (place to vote).
