The director may require that any contract in which the commission is a party be submitted to him or her for concurrence prior to the commission entering into the contract. If the director requires the submission of a contract and does not concur in that contract, he or she shall hold a public hearing within 14 days of the initial decision not to concur. In the notice of the hearing, the director shall present a written explanation of his or her decision. The director shall make a final decision on whether or not to concur in the contract within 30 days of the hearing. The contract may not be executed from the time that the director makes the initial decision not to concur to the time of the final decision.
