and conditions on salary and expense expenditures.

(a) It is the intent of the Legislature that the Oklahoma State

Regents for Higher Education establish a maximum annual salary for

the Chancellor for Higher Education and presidents of universities

and colleges. The maximum salary and expense allowance should not

exceed the salary and maintenance of Governor's Mansion established

for the Governor of the State of Oklahoma.

(b) State officers and employees shall not be paid any salary,

fee, wage, remuneration, expense allowance, or other compensation on

warrants issued by the State Treasurer except when claim for payment

is made on the prescribed payroll form of the agency for which

services are performed, except:

1. Reimbursement for travel expenses incurred on official state

business shall be made as provided by statute on approved travel

claims; and

2. Reimbursement for officials and employees of the state, for

miscellaneous emergency purchases or other purchases not available

through their agency's normal purchasing process, shall be on

approved miscellaneous claims. Provided, such reimbursements shall

be subject to the agency head's approval; must be accompanied by

evidence of payments; and the purchases must not otherwise be

restricted by state statutes. Reimbursements which exceed One

Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per claim shall include a written

statement of justification for the purchase as support documentation

for the claim.

Nothing in this section is intended to keep a state agency from

being reimbursed for services performed by employees of one agency

for another.

Nothing in this section shall affect the method of payment of

any expense allowance to any state officer or employee specifically

authorized by statute, or the payment to uniformed employees for

maintenance and cleaning of uniforms where the payment is made under

an accountable plan as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
