§ 245.060. Travel expenses: Reimbursement; per diem allowance

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, if a county or township officer or

an employee of the county is entitled to receive reimbursement for his or her necessary

traveling expenses for the transaction of public business, such reimbursement must

include actual living expenses, but the amount allowed for traveling by private conveyance

must not exceed the amount charged by public conveyance. Where it appears to the satisfaction of the board of county commissioners that travel

by private conveyance is more economical, or where it appears that, owing to train,

airplane or bus schedules or for other reasons, travel by public conveyance is impractical,

or in case a part of the route traveled is not covered by public conveyance, the board

of county commissioners, in its discretion, may allow for traveling by private conveyance

an amount not to exceed the maximum per-mile allowance for travel by private conveyance

established by the State Board of Examiners for state officers and employees generally. 2. The board of county commissioners of a county may provide, to any county or township

officer or employee of the county who is required to travel for the transaction of

public business for a period of not more than 5 consecutive working days at a time,

a per diem allowance and travel expenses at the same rate as the comparable rate established

for employees of the Federal Government by the Administrator of General Services pursuant

to 5 U.S.C. § 5707 , excluding any federal requirement, restriction or other condition which is applicable

to that comparable rate.
