Can I offer contests that involve travel prizes in Oklahoma? What are the requirements?

To offer contests that involve travel prizes in Oklahoma, the event must be designated as a quality event by the host community, and the travel reimbursement requests must be filed within 90-calendar days of the first date in travel status, accompanied by paid receipts. Additionally, the event must meet certain eligibility requirements [3.1].

To be designated as a quality event, the host community must adopt an ordinance or resolution designating the event as a quality event at least six months prior to the first day of the quality event.

Regarding travel authorization, pre-approval is required for out-of-state travel, and an employee or non-employee may be reimbursed for actual and necessary travel and lodging expenses under certain circumstances [2.1].

For vehicle travel reimbursement, privately-owned vehicle travel reimbursement must not exceed the Global Positioning System (GPS) mileage for work-related travel, and an employee or non-employee traveling on official business using a privately-owned vehicle is reimbursed on the basis of the actual number of miles traveled [2.3].
