(1) Appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate, the commissioner of administration supervises the state's service and administrative control agency and serves as a policy advisor to the governor. Whenever provisions of the statutes grant powers, impose duties, or make other reference to the comptroller, the director of Budget, the director of the Division of Planning and Construction, the state purchasing agent, or the director of Administrative Services, they are construed as referring to the commissioner of administration. The divisions of accounting; budget and planning; facilities management, design and construction; general services; information technology services; personnel; and purchasing are within the Office of Administration. Additionally, the Office of Administration provides varying levels of support and/or oversight to a number of boards and commissions pursuant to statute.
