Management Memos
A Management Memo (MM) is used for the distribution of management or policy information to state entities and often is a preliminary amendment to the State Administrative Manual (SAM).
Management Memos provide information to state departments directly related to the State Administrative Manual (SAM) on:
-
Matters that need immediate attention.
-
Statewide management policy to be included in the State Administrative Manual (SAM).
-
Temporary instructions, reminders, or other material that will not be included in SAM.
Management memos expire within 12 months from the issue date. (SAM 0025)
