This bill authorizes DOA to provide legal services to any office, department, or independent agency in the executive branch of state government (state agency) without the need for the state agency to request those services. Under current law, if a state agency does not have a secretary who serves at the pleasure of the governor, DOA may provide legal services to the state agency only at the request of the state agency.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
