8710     STATE BOARD OF CONTROL CLAIMS
(Revised 8/98)

During the year, various claims for money or damages against the State are presented to and ruled upon at regular meetings of the State Board of Control.  The dates, places, and times of the meetings may be obtained by contacting the State Board of Control.

Each year the Budget Act contains certain appropriations to pay any claims approved by the State Board of Control.  These appropriations are summarized under one item of the Budget Act.  The State Board of Control will record on its agency books all expenditures from those State Board of Control appropriations.  There are other types of State Board of Control claims for which agencies may record entries.  They are legislative claims (also known as omnibus claims) which include:

1. Claims against the State,

2. Specific cash deficiencies (SAM Section 8072), and

3. Invoices payable from reverted appropriations for which no current appropriation exists for the same purpose.  See SAM Section 8422.7.

The above claims will be filed with the State Board of Control in accordance with their procedures.

Agencies will receive a Controller's journal entry if payment of the State Board of Control claim affects the agency's accounts or appropriations.
