[Travel_Policy-News] Statewide Travel Policy Out-for-Comment

[HAMILTON Robert W * DAS]

Hello Travel Policy Contacts,

We've placed the Statewide Travel Policy out-for-comment based on a change proposed to paragraph 141 covering travel awards. The proposal is to allow travel awards earned on official state business to be available for personal use by considering them part of the official compensation package. The comment period closes on Thursday, June 27 and we'd very much appreciate agency feedback on this topic. Please send direct your comments to me at robert.w.hamilton at das.oregon.gov<mailto:robert.w.hamilton at das.oregon.gov>.

Here is a clean version of the proposed policy: https://www.oregon.gov/das/Financial/Acctng/Documents/40.10.00%20Travel%20Policy%20-%20Travel%20Awards%20Update.pdf

Here is a version that utilizes track changes: https://www.oregon.gov/das/Financial/Acctng/Documents/40.10.00%20Travel%20Policy%20-%20Travel%20Awards%20Update%20-%20track%20changes.pdf

To be clear, this is only a proposal currently, and nothing has yet changed regarding employees' ability to personally benefit from travel awards earned on official state business.

Thank you so much for your feedback,

Rob
