§1672.3. Action on contract claims
This Section applies to a claim by or controversy between the state and a contractor
arising out of a contract for professional, personal, consulting, or social services. If such a
claim or controversy is not resolved by mutual agreement, the commissioner of
administration, or his designee, shall promptly issue a decision in writing. A copy of that
decision shall be mailed or otherwise furnished to the contractor, shall state the reasons for
the action taken, and shall inform the contractor of his right to judicial relief as provided in
this Subpart. The decision shall be final and conclusive unless fraudulent, or unless the
contractor appeals the decision pursuant to this Subpart. If the commissioner of
administration, or his designee, does not issue a written decision within one hundred twenty
days after written request for a final decision, or within such longer period as may be
established in writing by the parties to the contract, then the contractor may proceed as if an
adverse decision had been received. A final decision of the commissioner may be made
executory by the Nineteenth Judicial District Court in accordance with Code of Civil
Procedure Article 2782.
