A state employee may be reimbursed at higher rates than the applicable out-of-state or in-state rates for travel, lodging, or meals if the state auditor determines that the higher rates would result in a savings to the state. Prior approval of travel expenses by the state auditor is required if a state employee is to be reimbursed at higher rates.
