Section 3-10-3 - Applicability(a) Except as otherwise provided by statute, these rules apply to all persons employed by the State and to all other persons representing the state on official business.(b) Except as otherwise provided by statute, these rules apply to all travel expenses regardless of the source of funding, unless a non-state entity pays for the entire cost of travel (including per diem and all incidental costs) and makes all travel arrangements.(c) Wherever there is a conflict between these rules and the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement that is in effect, the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement take precedence; excluded employees under chapter 89, HRS, shall receive the same application of such provisions as employees included in the related bargaining unit.(d) These rules take precedence over conflicting travel policies, written or unwritten, of any department or agency of the state. Written travel policies for internal administration within departments and agencies are encouraged, but are subordinate to these rules. The head of each department is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the rules.[Eff 6/01/81; am and comp JUL 23 1999] (Auth: HRS § 40-13) (Imp: HRS § 40-13)
