      (b) Allow of those claims mentioned in paragraph (a) as not having been passed upon by the State Board of Examiners within 30 days after presentation the whole, or such portion thereof as the State Controller deems just and legal, and of claims examined and passed upon by the State Board of Examiners, such an amount as the State Controller decrees just and legal not exceeding the amount allowed by the Board.

      2.  No claim for services rendered or advances made to the State or any officer thereof may be audited or allowed unless the services or advancement have been specially authorized by law and an appropriation or authorization made for its payment.
