41-101.03. State employee travel reduction program; designated state agency; fund

A. The governor shall designate an appropriate state agency to establish, administer and operate a travel reduction program for the transportation of state employees between their residences and their place of work. The designated agency shall establish the travel reduction program for the voluntary participation by state employees in any area of this state where a sufficiently large number of state employees reside and where the costs of administering a travel reduction program would not be excessive.

B. There is established the state employee travel reduction fund which consists of monies appropriated by the legislature, unrestricted private grants, gifts, contributions and devises, federal funds, and fees. The state agency designated by the governor pursuant to this section shall administer the fund and may disburse monies from the fund only in direct support of the travel reduction program established by this section. Monies in the fund appropriated by the legislature are exempt from the provisions of section 35-190 relating to lapsing of appropriations.
