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 rules. It is the intent of the Board that state agencies shall not have discretion to provide reimbursement at a lower amount than contained in Board rules, 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 departmental discretion below such ceiling.
