- Presentation and audit of claims against the State for which (1) an appropriation has been made or a State fund is available and which the claims have been rejected by the Controller; (2) the appropriation made or fund designated is exhausted; (3) no appropriation has been made or no fund is available but the settlement of which has been provided for by statute or constitutional provision; and (4) settlement is not otherwise provided in statute or constitutional provision. Also, claims against the State will be presented to the CVCGCB for any other injury for which the State is liable.
- Authorization for a State agency to refrain from collecting taxes, licenses, fees, or money owing to the State for any reason where the amount to be collected is two hundred fifty ($250) or less.
