(a) It is the intent of the Legislature that the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education establish a maximum annual salary for the Chancellor for Higher Education and presidents of universities and colleges. The maximum salary and expense allowance should not exceed the salary and maintenance of Governor's Mansion established for the Governor of the State of Oklahoma.
(b) State officers and employees shall not be paid any salary, fee, wage, remuneration, expense allowance, or other compensation on warrants issued by the State Treasurer except when claim for payment is made on the prescribed payroll form of the agency for which services are performed, except:
1. Reimbursement for travel expenses incurred on official state business shall be made as provided by statute on approved travel claims; and
2. Reimbursement for officials and employees of the state, for miscellaneous emergency purchases or other purchases not available through their agency's normal purchasing process, shall be on approved miscellaneous claims. Provided, such reimbursements shall be subject to the agency head's approval; must be accompanied by evidence of payments; and the purchases must not otherwise be restricted by state statutes. Reimbursements which exceed One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per claim shall include a written statement of justification for the purchase as support documentation for the claim.
Nothing in this section is intended to keep a state agency from being reimbursed for services performed by employees of one agency for another.
Nothing in this section shall affect the method of payment of any expense allowance to any state officer or employee specifically authorized by statute, or the payment to uniformed employees for maintenance and cleaning of uniforms where the payment is made under an accountable plan as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
