17-8-202 . Preaudit and transmittal of claims.
(1)The department of administration is not required to preaudit a liquidated claim against the state. However, the department may preaudit those claims it considers necessary. The agency shall retain the original of all documents that support claims sent to the department. These documents are subject to postaudit by the legislative auditor.
(2)An office or entity of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of state government may not make any charge against any appropriation unless the balance of the appropriation is available and adequate. If an appropriation is not available for the payment of a claim, the agency shall transmit the claim to the governor for presentation to the legislature.
