A 11504: Requires the comptroller review and approve certain contracts

This bill amends the state constitution to require the comptroller to review and approve all contracts made by state agencies before they become effective. The legislature will establish a minimum dollar value for these contracts, meaning agreements below that threshold would not need comptroller approval. Additionally, the bill grants the comptroller authority to audit state revenues and assign them oversight of local government accounts and real estate tax assessments. The governor retains the power to temporarily suspend this contract review requirement during declared disaster emergencies.
