    SECTION 19.
            The budget agency, under IC 4-10-11, IC 4-12-1-13, and IC 4-13-1, in cooperation
            with the Indiana department of administration, may fix the amount of reimbursement
            for traveling expenses (other than transportation) for travel within the limits of
            Indiana. This amount may not exceed actual lodging and miscellaneous expenses incurred.
            A person in travel status, as defined by the state travel policies and procedures
            established by the Indiana department of administration and the budget agency, is
            entitled to a meal allowance not to exceed during any twenty-four (24) hour period
            the standard meal allowances established by the federal Internal Revenue Service.
            All appropriations provided by this act or any other statute, for traveling and hotel
            expenses for any department, officer, agent, employee, person, trustee, or commissioner,
            are to be used only for travel within the state of Indiana, unless those expenses
            are incurred in traveling outside the state of Indiana on trips that previously have
            received approval as required by the state travel policies and procedures established
            by the Indiana department of administration and the budget agency. With the required
            approval, a reimbursement for out-of-state travel expenses may be granted in an amount
            not to exceed actual lodging and miscellaneous expenses incurred. A person in travel
            status is entitled to a meal allowance not to exceed during any twenty-four (24)
            hour period the standard meal allowances established by the federal Internal Revenue
            Service for properly approved travel within the continental United States and a minimum
            of $50 during any twenty-four (24) hour period for properly approved travel outside
            the continental United States. However, while traveling in Japan, the minimum meal
            allowance shall not be less than $90 for any twenty-four (24) hour period. While
            traveling in Korea and Taiwan, the minimum meal allowance shall not be less than
            $85 for any twenty-four (24) hour period; while traveling in Singapore, China, Great
            Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and France, the minimum meal allowance shall not
            be less than $65 for any twenty-four (24) hour period.
            In the case of the state supported institutions of postsecondary education, approval
            for out-of-state travel may be given by the chief executive officer of the institution,
            or the chief executive officer's authorized designee, for the chief executive officer's
            respective personnel.
            Before reimbursing overnight travel expenses, the auditor of state shall require
            documentation as prescribed in the state travel policies and procedures established
            by the Indiana department of administration and the budget agency. No appropriation
            from any fund may be construed as authorizing the payment of any sum in excess of
            the standard mileage rates for personally owned transportation equipment established
            by the federal Internal Revenue Service when used in the discharge of state business.
            The Indiana department of administration and the budget agency may adopt policies
            and procedures relative to the reimbursement of travel and moving expenses of new
            state employees and the reimbursement of travel expenses of prospective employees
            who are invited to interview with the state.
