When a public agency pays an employee's expenses, where should the fees be remitted?

  1. To the employee

  2. To the agency

  3. To the state treasury

  4. To the Secretary of State

The correct answer is: To the agency

When a public agency pays for an employee's expenses, the funds should be remitted back to the agency. Option A, remitting to the employee, would be considered illegal or unethical as it would be equivalent to the agency reimbursing itself. Option C, the state treasury, would not be the appropriate location as the expenses were incurred by the agency, not the state itself. Option D, the Secretary of State, is also not the correct answer as their role is to oversee elections and provide public information, not to handle agency expenses. Therefore, B is the most appropriate answer as it ensures that the funds are properly recorded and accounted for within the agency's budget.
