must provide such information required by the Department of Administration for the purposes of maintaining a
centralized log of such contracts (was, information required by the Secretary of the Department of Administration).
Replaces GS 114-8. 3(d) with a clause stating that nothing that requires a designated attorney to review proposed
contracts limits the authority of the State Treasurer to retain the services of attorneys for the proper administration of
investment programs (was, clause requiring Department of Administration to adopt procedures for identification and
record keping of contracts subject to review). Other technical and clarifying changes.
Section 2
Adds to GS 143-49(3a) the Contract Management Section of the DOA's Division of Purchase and Contract, and other

negotiations of pending contracts exceeding $5 million. Adds the requirement that to be valid, any contract for
services reviewed pursuant to these subdivision must include the signature and title of the attorney designated from
within the office of the Attorney General to review the contract. Adds requirements that for proposed Treasurer
investment and debt contracts that in aggregate exceed $5 million, the Department of State Treasurer can ask for
approval and employment of outside counsel to represent the Department. Defines exactly what investment contracts
and debt contracts mean.
