The various acts creating departments pursuant to the Executive Reorganization Acts generally provide that the secretary of the department is responsible to the governor for the operation of the department and shall delegate authority to subordinates as the secretary deems necessary and appropriate, clearly delineating such delegated authority and the limitations thereto. It is the purpose of this rule to set forth those individuals who may legally bind state agencies which must submit their contracts or vouchers to the department of finance and administration.
