Bill > SB193

This bill modifies existing law to expand the oversight responsibilities of the Contract Review Permanent Legislative Oversight Committee, which is tasked with reviewing contracts for personal or professional services with private entities or individuals that are paid for with state or federal funds. Specifically, the bill removes the limitation that funds for these contracts must be issued on a state warrant, meaning the committee's review will now apply to a broader range of contract payments. Additionally, the bill clarifies that "state department" or "department" for the purposes of this oversight includes occupational and professional licensing boards, commissions, or agencies, bringing these entities under the committee's purview for contract review. The bill also makes a minor technical change to the title of a committee officer, changing "vice-chair" to "vice chair."
