§ 75-3201 — Presentment of expense claims; mileage, per diem or subsistence; exception

(a) When the duty assignment of any state officer or employee requires travel to points beyond such officer's or employee's official station or regular domicile such officer or employee shall be entitled, upon complying with the provisions of this act and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder, to an allowance for subsistence and reimbursement for transportation, and other travel expenses incurred while in such travel status as provided in this act. Such officer or employee shall present claims for travel at least once each month to the appropriate department or officer. The claims shall show dates of travel, points visited, times of departure and arrival, and purpose of travel.
(b) When mileage allowances for the use of a privately owned automobile are claimed, the points between which the mileage accrued, the necessity and purpose of the travel and the rate per mile, shall be shown on the claim. No claim for mileage shall be allowed for mileage accrued when using a vehicle owned by the state of Kansas.
(c) Unless the secretary of administration, by rule and regulation, provides for limited exceptions under circumstances in which payment of a per diem or subsistence allowance is in the best interest of the state, no per diem or subsistence allowances shall be paid to any state officer or employee when these expenses are incurred in the city in which the residence or official station of the officer or employee is located.
(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed as applying to the members of the state legislature and other officials as enumerated in K.S.A. 75-3216, and amendments thereto.
