Public Notice - Additional Information for Compliance Costs on Filings for Rule R25-7 Entitled Travel-Related Reimbursements for State Employees

The Division of Finance recently filed two amendments to Rule R25-7. The first amendment was published in the 05/15/2004 issue of the Bulletin under DAR No. 27120 and changed the lodging per diem for Layton and changed the reimbursement for private vehicle mileage. The second amendment was published in the 06/01/2004 issue of the Bulletin under DAR No. 27164 and specified a premium allowance for remaining meals on a day when an employee receives a complimentary meal in a premium city. The following information explains why there are no compliance costs for affected persons associated with these amendments.

If an agency chooses to permit employees to travel, any costs resulting from compliance with these amendments will be paid by the agency, not by employees (the affected persons). In fact, employees who are allowed to travel will actually receive additional reimbursement as a result of the amendments.
