(a) Every agency or subdivision issuing or renewing a license must annually, on or before February 1, furnish to the Commissioner a report of all licenses issued or renewed by the agency or subdivision during the preceding calendar year.
(b) Every agency or subdivision, except for towns and districts having a population of less than five thousand (5,000) and agencies thereof, must annually, on or before August 1, furnish to the Commissioner a report of all providers who have furnished goods, services or real estate space to the agency or subdivision during the preceding fiscal year, under contracts or agreements which, taken together, required the agency of subdivision to pay the provider five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or more during the preceding fiscal year. The Commissioner may waive this requirement with respect to payments by state agencies which have been individually reported to, and certified prior to payment by, the Comptroller's Division of the Executive Office for Administration and Finance. In the event of a waiver of this requirement, such payments will not be taken into account in determining whether the agency was required to pay the provider five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or more during the preceding fiscal year.
