Section 599.615 - Scope
(a) It is the purpose of this article to provide reimbursement for the necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by state officers and employees because of travel on official state business. Each state agency is charged with the responsibility of determining the necessity for, and the method of travel, provided, however, that once such necessity has been determined, reimbursement shall be governed by these regulations. It is the intent of the Department that state agencies shall not have discretion to provide reimbursement at a lower amount than contained in Department regulations unless such discretion is specifically mentioned. Language of this article providing a specific time, distance, or amount shall be rigidly interpreted. Language such as "not more than" or "up to" a specified amount shall be interpreted as a rigid ceiling with agency discretion below such ceiling.
(b) For the purpose of regulations governing claims for reimbursement an excluded employee is: an employee as defined in California Government Code section 3527(b) (Ralph C. Dills Act); a nonelected officer or employee of the executive branch of government who is not a member of the civil service.
(c) For the purpose of regulations governing claims for reimbursement, a represented employee is defined in California Government Code section 3513(c) (Ralph C. Dills Act).
