(a) Actual lodgings (maximum to be set by board of examiners) and meal allowance which is no higher than allowed under the Internal Revenue Code for travel within the state; and

(b) Actual lodgings (maximum to be set by board of examiners) and meal allowance which is no higher than allowed under the Internal Revenue Code without the state; and

(c) A rate of mileage allowance which is no higher than the standard mileage rate for the business use of an automobile allowed under the Internal Revenue Code for income tax purposes; and

(d) The mileage allowance for private aircraft travel shall be set by the board and shall be no higher than that allowed for automobile travel, calculated as if the travel had been by highway route.

(2) In fixing rates of allowance under this act, the board shall consider the prevailing cost of executing such travel, generally prevailing economic conditions, and the rates of allowance made applicable to similar travel by the federal government and private employers within the state.

(3) For a period where employees are to be absent from their post on official business for less than twenty-four (24) hours the board’s regulations shall provide for partial days’ subsistence rates.
