Per diem is not specific to your home State.  It is specific to the city of
you travel destination.  The IRS standard for per diem is the GSA Domestic
or International Per Diem Rates (see attached link).  It is your choice to
use per diem rates or to keep receipts for every meal.  In either case, it
will be cut in half when you prepare the tax forms.
