The chief executive officer of the state department or agency is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations necessary to determine the eligibility of the employee for reimbursement of actual moving expenses and the amount to be paid, not to exceed the amount permitted under Section 36-7-40. Such rules and regulations may be amended, supplemented or changed at the discretion of the chief executive officer of the state department or agency in keeping with the needs of his department.
Such reimbursement may be made upon approval by the head of the state department or agency after the employee has been notified that his state department or agency is requiring his move and after the head of his state department or agency has determined that such employee is eligible for reimbursement under the established rules and regulations of his particular department and after submission of such evidence by the employee to the head of his state department or agency of cost as may be required by the rules and regulations established.
Such moving cost paid to the employee under this article shall be paid out of the same fund of each such department or agency as payment for salaries and cost of administering the department or agency are paid.
