Before purchasing any materials other than emergencies, competitive bids shall be
required and the lowest bidder with approved quality goods shall receive the order. (3) At certain stated times, the various cities or counties of the said intercity or intercounty compact shall file their requisitions for needed supplies. The
comptroller, after examining the budget of such a city or county and determining the
need for such materials, may approve or veto such a requisition. If he approves the
order of the city or county, the process of purchasing may proceed and the
respective city or county be charged with the account. If the requisition is vetoed,
the commission may set aside the veto only by unanimous vote. History: Created 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 43, sec. 6.
