| 4536 | Expenditures, Expenses and Disbursements: P-Card Agency Responsibilities | Update made to change the appointment of a P-Card Administrator to the same as a Travel Card Administrator. |
| 5095 | Travel: Maximum Mileage, Lodging, Meal, Parking and Incidental Expense Reimbursement Rates | Update made for legislative subsistence rates established by statute and an additional Phoenix airport parking location - BlueSky. No changes made to travel rates. |
There has also been a corresponding update made to the Form GAO-3C Purchasing Card and Travel Card Agency Program Administrator Authorization Form. All new requests must be made utilizing the updated form. Existing requests do not have to be resubmitted on the new form.
Per statute, changes in the state travel rates require approval by the JLBC before rates can be modified. GAO has requested annual travel rate updates. If the travel rates are approved a later date, we will update the SAAM at that time.
Comments, corrections, complaints and compliments should be emailed to [email protected]. Please include the number of the SAAM section and relevant paragraph(s) (SAAM NNNN-nn.nn.nn) in the subject line.
