Sec. 1. The disbursement of moneys for any purpose by the
departments of the state government shall be by vouchers specifically
itemizing in every particular the different purposes for which the
treasury warrant is authorized. These vouchers shall not be approved
by any officer or officers authorized to approve the same, unless so
itemized, giving minutiae of detail, and when vouchers are presented
to the auditor of state for warrants, they shall be accompanied by said
itemized accounts and statements: Provided, That in the case of
Purdue University, Indiana University, The Ball State Teachers
College and The Indiana State Teachers College, the auditor of state
shall be authorized to draw warrant upon a verified schedule of
claims submitted by the treasurer of such university or college; all
itemized claims included in such schedule shall be filed by such

IC 4-10-11-2
Traveling expenses; receipted bills; per diem
Sec. 2. In all accounts rendered for traveling expenses, receipted
bills for each item, except railroad fare, shall be submitted. However,
the budget agency, in cooperation with the department of
administration, is authorized to fix per diem or per diems in lieu of
traveling expenses, other than transportation, in such amounts as they
deem proper and equitable but in no case shall such per diem exceed
the amount established in the appropriation act. When per diem is
fixed receipted bills for each item are not necessary. Per diem when
fixed may include meals, lodging, and all other traveling expenses
except transportation. It will be sufficient in items covering railroad
fare to verify same, if advisable, by referring to published tariff rates,
and auto transportation shall be at the rate not to exceed the rate
provided in the appropriation act. Constructive charges shall be
eliminated from all vouchers, and under no circumstances shall the
appropriation of the succeeding fiscal year be anticipated by
predecessor.

appropriation act have been violated, to refuse issue of warrants, and
if, in the examination of vouchers rendered by any departments of
state government, any violations of any sections 1, 2, and 3 of this
