(Revised 5/75)

Board of Control Rule 868 specifies the circumstances under which individuals other than inmates, patients, or wards may eat at state agencies. A meal ticket is required for each meal eaten at a state institution except as otherwise specifically provided by Rule 868. Every meal ticket will be signed upon presentation at the dining room by the user.

Agencies will collect sales tax on meals and food products sold, except for such sales at schools exempted from the tax under Section 6363 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

Accountability for meal tickets will be established at the time they are received form the State Printer by recording the receipt of tickets in memorandum accounts. Unissued and canceled meal tickets will be safeguarded against theft.
