Government Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•The boss can say 'okay' to small deals (under $25,000) without asking the big group for permission.
•The boss only does this if he thinks it’s good for the state.
•The boss must tell the money-watcher (Controller) in writing when he does this.

Example

A school wants to buy new computers for $20,000.

The boss can say 'yes' right away if he thinks it’s a good deal for the school and the state. He doesn’t need to ask the whole department. But he has to write a note to the Controller to say he did it.
