Honest question. If I was some sort of authority figure with the state’s building inspection. I have a need to travel to Florida to inspect that building collapse because I’m an expert in that field. Does this mean I need to pay out of pocket to do work?
How does it work if I have legit business there?
- taejo 5y agoWhy should California pay for you to inspect a building in Florida? If the federal government or Florida wants to hire you as a consultant then they can pay.
- mc32 5y agoStates help each other all the time during rescue efforts and send experts who can help the local authorities. I believe Mexico sent rescue experts to FL given their expertise in rescuing from collapsed buildings.

- throwaway0a5e 5y agoOdds are you pay out of pocket then get reimbursed. Your boss can't use state funds to buy your ticket "because policy" but they can refund you for "miscellaneous travel expenses incurred on the job". This sort of thing is a well practiced workflow in most bureaucracies.
- jfengel 5y agoThere are a number of exceptions, including "For the protection of public health, welfare, or safety, as determined by the affected agency, department, board, authority, or commission, or by the affected legislative office". https://oag.ca.gov/ab1887 https://oag.ca.gov/ab1887 It also says that you can't be required by your job to travel to those states. So if they declare it an exception, they'll pay for it. If they don't declare it an exception, you can't be required to go. Under no circumstances could you be forced to pay for it yourself.
