Section 51. Jurisdiction

This  article shall, subject to the limitations
  contained herein, confer upon the office of the state inspector general,
  jurisdiction over all covered agencies. For the purposes of this article
  "covered  agency"  shall  include   all   executive   branch   agencies,
  departments,   divisions,   officers,  boards  and  commissions,  public
  authorities (other than multi-state or multi-national authorities),  and
  public  benefit  corporations,  the  heads of which are appointed by the
  governor and which do not have their own inspector general  by  statute.
  Wherever  a covered agency is a board, commission, a public authority or
  public benefit corporation, the head of the agency  is  the  chairperson
  thereof.
