Section 10220 Of Article 7. Contract Requirements From California Public Contract Code >> Division 2. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 7.

. Every contract awarded under this part shall be submitted to the Attorney General or the attorney appointed according to law and authorized to represent the department under which it is to be performed. 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 so to file does not invalidate it.
