Key Takeaways

  • •The government can only spend a certain amount of money when they send someone to check a place outside of California.
  • •They can either pay for the inspector's food, hotel, local travel, and the cheapest plane ticket from Sacramento, or they can pay another agency to do the inspection.
  • •They can't spend more than the state's daily allowance for food and lodging.

Example

If the government needs to check a farm in Oregon, they can either send their own inspector or hire an agency in Oregon to do the job.

If they send their own inspector, they can only pay for the inspector's meals, hotel, local travel, and the cheapest plane ticket from Sacramento. They can't spend more than the state's daily allowance for meals and lodging. Or, they can just pay an agency in Oregon to do the inspection instead.
