• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not specified
• D. Only for in-state travel

Answer: (B)

Travel reimbursement for training is allowed under the General Appropriations Act for appointees, and the timing of attendance relative to qualification does not affect eligibility. The Act provides funds for reasonable travel expenses to attend required training programs for state boards and commissions, so an individual who has been appointed can be reimbursed for travel costs even if the training occurs before they officially qualify for office. This ensures new appointees can get up to speed before or after taking office.
