Fulton County revises travel policy to require prior approval for personal-vehicle use
Summary
The county amended HR Manual Section 213 to require employees to request advance approval from the commissioners explaining why they need to use a personal vehicle for official business.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 23 adopted a revision to the county human-resources manual tightening requirements for employees who want to use personal vehicles for work travel. Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to revise Section 213, 'Travel,' to require that an employee who wishes to use their own vehicle must submit a request to the commissioners ahead of time explaining why they are requesting use of a personal vehicle; the motion was approved unanimously.
The change was presented as a procedural clarification to ensure the county authorizes personal-vehicle use and documents the reason for the exception. The minutes do not specify whether any mileage reimbursement formula or additional insurance verification steps will be attached to the policy; that information was 'not specified' in the public record. The board recorded the action as approved with 'All in favor.'
County officials did not provide additional implementation details during the meeting; departments will need to route individual employee requests to the commissioners per the revised language.
