Alabama HB137 requires the Governor to certify emergency contracts with executive branch agencies.

Alabama HB137 amends the state's contract review process for emergency contracts. Under current law, contracts for personal or professional services with private entities and individuals, paid out of state funds, are reviewed by the Contract Review Permanent Legislative Oversight Committee. However, if the head of a contracting agency declares an emergency adversely affecting public health, public safety, or public welfare, the contract can be let without committee review.
