written description and reasons and the total cost of each
emergency procurement made during the previous month. When only

Auditor General shall file with the Legislative Audit
Commission and the Governor a complete listing of all emergency
procurements reported during that fiscal quarter. The
Legislative Audit Commission shall review the emergency
