Commissioner of administration to certify accounts before expenditures are made--records of appropriations and allotments.
33.040. 1. No expenditure shall be made and no obligation incurred by any department without certification by the commissioner of administration pursuant to the provisions of section 33.030.
2. At the time of issuance, each certification shall be entered on the general accounting books by the commissioner of administration as an encumbrance on the appropriation and on the allotment. If the obligation is not incurred after the certification has been entered on the general accounting books as an encumbrance on the appropriation and on the allotment, the certification shall be removed from the general accounting books as an encumbrance on the appropriation and on the allotment. Any officer or employee of the state who makes any expenditure or incurs any obligation without first securing the certifications from the commissioner of administration is personally liable and liable on his bond for the amount of the expenditure or obligation. To prevent inconvenience and delay, the commissioner of administration may establish a system for certification of emergency or anticipated minor obligations and expenditures and nonbudgetary expenditures.
