(a) When the sheriff is required by law to remove a person on a writ of habeas corpus, change of venue, or otherwise, or to remove a person of unsound mind to or from an asylum, the sheriff shall make out a statement of expenses, itemized, of the sheriff, of the person being conducted, and of an escort, if one was necessary, and shall make oath that the same is true and correct. The sheriff shall present the same to the county mayor, for auditing and allowance, and if approved by the county mayor, it shall be allowed as other claims are allowed.
(b) Where a municipality or other governmental agency in the state of Tennessee owns, leases or contracts for the use of an airplane for the purpose of air travel facilities, and such facilities are used in going after and returning any fugitive from another part of the state, the municipality or other governmental agency shall be reimbursed the cost of the plane fare for the sheriff, deputy, guard, or escort, and the fugitive, in the amount which may be charged by any regular commercial airline, plus such other expenses as may be necessary for meals, lodging and such other actual expenses incurred going to and from the airport. The sheriff, deputy, guard or escort may also utilize regular commercial airlines where the cost of such transportation is comparable economically to ground transportation.
