22020.7 Preparation of Travel Expense Claim, STD Form 262 DPA rules provide allowance for subsistence expenses (meals and lodging), transportation expenses, including commercial carrier fare, private car mileage allowances, parking, taxis, bridge tolls, and business expenses, including telephone calls for non-represented employees. Rules for represented employees are found in the applicable bargaining unit contracts. The DPA travel expense rules provide reimbursement for necessary and actual out- of-pocket expenses incurred by state employees while traveling on official state business. Within this context, maximum limits are prescribed for various types of expenses incurred. These limits serve the purpose of notifying the employee planning a trip, in advance, the maximum amounts that shall be reimbursed. 24 Hours or More The regular per diem schedule assumes that an employee will provide the full cost for lodging and meals during a 24-hour period. If an employee receives one or more meals without charge (i.e., a luncheon at a conference that is included in the state paid "tuition" fee), they shall reduce their TEC in accordance with the reimbursement schedule for meals. If an employee receives free room and/or board, their per diem should be reduced to the extent that their actual expenses were reduced. 25 Miles No subsistence expenses shall be allowed at any location within a radius of 25 miles of an employee's headquarters. Parole agents supervising a caseload are considered to be at "headquarters" wherever their travels might take them in covering their caseload; therefore, no per diem allowance shall be provided for trips of less than 24 hours within such "headquarters." Claims for meals at informal business meetings, at adjourned sessions or recesses of official meetings when attendance of the employee is primarily for public or community relations are specifically prohibited. Less Than 24 Hours Employees on travel status for less than 24 hours may claim subsistence expenses incurred before or after the regularly scheduled workday but lunch allowance may not be claimed. Non-represented employees may claim breakfast and/or dinner expenses incurred 25 miles from headquarters and at least one hour before and/or Operations Manual DEPARMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION Chapter 2 84 after the regularly scheduled workday of the employee. Represented employees should check their MOU contract to determine eligibility for meal expenses. Detailed instructions for preparation of STD Form 262 are contained on the reverse side of the form. 22020.7.1

22040.5 Emergency Contracts Emergency contracts which are necessary for the immediate preservation of life or State property are exempt from advertising. The definition of what constitutes an emergency is contained in two separate sections of the PCC. • Section 1102 addresses emergency services and, • Section 10122 addresses emergencies for construction and public works. Emergency contracts are designed to provide immediate services needed to mitigate an emergency and cannot be used to complete an entire project or provide on-going services unless mitigating efforts are insufficient to address the emergency. State of California contracting rules and regulations require a competitive bidding process to obtain a contract for projects and on-going service needs. Under an emergency situation, informal bids (minimum of three) may be obtained by telephone and work may begin without an executed contract if the contract has been verbally authorized by someone with Department authority to authorize the initiation of an emergency contract. However, a full explanation of the emergency and a justification for the contract price shall be included on the Agreement Summary (STD. 215). Examples of acceptable emergency contract situations include: • Institutional security failures such as gates, fences, security systems (i.e., lethal electrified fence, shaker fences, cameras, etc.). • Failure of other critical building/site components or systems required to maintain staff, inmate, and public safety and licensing. • Utility failures such as loss of power, potable water, wastewater. • Failure of essential central plant services such as HVAC, steam, hot water. • Loss of fire protection or other essential life safety systems. • Loss of essential food services. • Unanticipated loss of janitorial services that impact the immediate health and safety of staff. • Identification of toxic mold within the premises that must be remediated to protect the health and safety of staff. Examples of unacceptable situations for using the emergency contracting process include: • Building system or component renewal beyond what is required to address the immediate failure or condition. • Scope of work activity beyond the acceptable immediate emergency condition as demonstrated above. • Restoration or replacement of a building system or component beyond its original design capacity. • Instances in which the requesting institution or program failed to adequately plan for required services. The PCC allows exceptions to the competitive bidding requirement in true emergencies. However, emergency contracts are not exempt from all other contracting requirements including a valid business license, insurance coverage certificates, and payment bonds, payment of prevailing wages and DGS/Office of Legal Services (OLS) or AG approvals.

(6) Participants shall have in their possession at the time of entry to a facility/range of CDCR a valid employee identification card from their department which indicates the employee’s peace officer status, or a written designation by the employee's hiring authority, or designee, which authorizes that employee to carry a concealed off-duty firearm. (e) Weapons and Ammunition Only concealable handguns consisting of .22 to .45 caliber (includes 9mm and 10mm) shall be used on department ranges. No single action revolvers, blackpowder firearms, shotguns, or rifles shall be permitted. (1) All ammunition shall be supplied by the participant. Only factory loaded or reloaded ammunition shall be accepted. Snake loads and loads that exceed industry standard are not acceptable rounds and shall not be permitted. (2) Prior to use, all firearms and ammunition shall be inspected by the Rangemaster or Tactical Firearms Instructor. Any weapon or ammunition deemed unacceptable or unsafe shall be removed from the range and not used. Each participant shall provide their own off-duty weapon with a strong side hip holster. (f) Qualification Requirements (1) Minimally, the approved off-duty 36 round handgun course, as specified in DOM section 32010.19.5.3, shall be used. Alternatively, and only upon request by the participant, the departmental 45 round course as specified in DOM section 32010.5.2, may be utilized for off-duty firearm qualifications.

(h) Off-Duty Disqualifying Factors The employee’s hiring authority or designee may deny, suspend, or revoke for good cause a person's right to carry an off-duty concealable firearm. (1) Persons permitted to carry firearms pursuant to PC section 830.5(c) shall meet the training requirements of PC section 832 and shall qualify with the firearm at least quarterly. It is the responsibility of the individual to maintain their eligibility to carry an off-duty firearm. (2) Carrying a firearm off-duty without maintaining the quarterly qualification shall constitute good cause to suspend or revoke that person's right to carry firearms off-duty. (i) Appeal of Revocation of Authorization to Carry Off-Duty Firearms Within 15 working days of receipt of a notification that an individual's authorization to carry an off-duty concealable firearm has been suspended, revoked, or denied, the individual may appeal the decision. If an individual decides to appeal the decision, the appeal shall be in writing, and served on the appropriate Director or Chairperson who issued the decision. Persons are prohibited from carrying a concealable firearm off-duty during the appeal period. (j) Adverse Personnel Action Pursuant to PC sections 830.5 and 25400, carrying a concealed loaded firearm without maintaining the quarterly qualification is prosecutable and the employee may be subject to adverse personnel action at the discretion of the hiring authority or designee. 32010.19.9
