Summary

The bill adds a new step to Alabama’s contract‑review process. When a state agency in the executive branch wants to bypass the Contract Review Committee because of an emergency, the governor must sign a written certification that the emergency truly threatens public health, safety, or welfare. This adds oversight to ensure emergency contracts are justified and remain short‑term.
