All rules shall be adopted in accordance with chapter 91; provided that the state procurement policy board shall have the power to issue interim rules by procurement directives, which shall be exempt from the public notice, public hearing, and gubernatorial approval requirements of chapter 91.

In addition, the state procurement policy board shall select any department, division, or agency for compliance audits, to be randomly selected or as otherwise authorized by law.
