Handbook Revision, August 2025
This revision of the DFPS Travel Claims and Services Handbook was published on August 1, 2025. Summaries of new or revised items are provided below.
Updates to the Rental Car Policy (PATS 14415/00055)
The sentence referring to Hertz Rental Cars was removed, which allows this policy to align with the State Controller's State Travel Management Program's list of contracted vendors. Removing this reference makes the policy generalized to accept all rental car contracts, current and in the future.
