Added coverage for the judicial branch (Section 1) and legislative branch (Section 2) to the travel expense reimbursement limits.

Removed specific sub-sections regarding emergency disaster declarations and increased reimbursement rates for state employees.

Simplified the executive branch travel rules by removing the detailed emergency exception clauses found in the Enrolled version.

Replaced the 'Enrolled' version header with the 'Original' version header and updated the digest to reflect the new scope.

Removed a standalone header regarding meal limits for public officials and employees that appeared in the reengrossed version but was not included in the final enrolled text.

Renumbered internal sections (e.g., changing Section 2 to Section 3) to match the final legislative sequence, though the actual legal content of the sections remains identical.

Updated page counts and removed the 'Digest' section, which is standard formatting for the final enrolled version of a bill.

Added a mandatory requirement for written authorization from the Commissioner of Administration to exceed standard meal and incidental expense rates during a declared disaster or emergency.

Corrected the page count from 4 to 5 and fixed line breaks and spacing errors in the text.

Removed the 'DIGEST' section from the end of the document, which is a summary note rather than part of the law.
