1. Any state officer or employee may apply for advance money for authorized per diem and travel expenses arising out of the officer’s or employee’s official duties or employment in the amounts established by the State Board of Examiners pursuant to NRS 281.160 by filing a request with the administrative head of the state office, department or agency by which the officer or employee is employed.

2. If the administrative head or the designee of the administrative head approves the request, the administrative head or designee shall process a voucher for a cash advance for travel in the approved amount in the same manner as other claims against the State are processed.

3. Unless otherwise approved by the Budget Division of the Office of Finance before the travel occurs, all cash advances for travel issued by the administrative head or designee must be charged to the budget account to which money was appropriated or authorized for expenditure for the travel.

4. If the administrative head or designee cannot process a cash advance for travel because of a temporary budget restriction, the administrative head or designee may forward a copy of the request and approval to the State Controller.

5. Upon receiving a copy of the request and approval from the administrative head or designee, the State Controller may issue a check or warrant for the cash advance for travel.
