Every contract awarded under this chapter shall be submitted to the Attorney General or the attorney appointed according to law and authorized to represent the trustees. Such a contract is not binding on the state until the appropriate attorney finds it to be in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, and endorses such finding thereon.
A certified copy of each contract shall be filed with the Controller, but the failure to so file does not invalidate it.
