(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a state agency may reimburse a state employee with a disability for attendant care and other necessary expenses incurred when the employee travels inside or outside the employee's designated headquarters. An expense incurred when traveling between a residence and a place of employment may be reimbursed only as provided by law for state employees without disabilities.
(b) If the airfare is medically necessary, a state agency may reimburse a state employee with a disability for the first or business class airfare of:
(1) the employee; and
(2) the attendant of the employee.
(c) Instead of reimbursing a state employee for attendant care and other necessary expenses, a state agency may:
(1) reimburse the attendant for those expenses; or
(2) pay a commercial transportation company or commercial lodging establishment directly if the expenses are for transportation or lodging.
(d) If this chapter, the travel provisions of the General Appropriations Act, or a rule adopted by the comptroller under this chapter conflicts with a requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Section 12101 et seq.), a federal regulation adopted under that Act, or another applicable federal law or regulation, the federal law or regulation controls to the extent of the conflict.
