The comptroller shall submit periodic reports on request to the house and senate committees on ways and means listing those agencies which do not meet the thirty day payment schedule. Said report shall also include but not be limited to the identification of the agency receiving said goods or services and the agency providing said goods or services; provided, that said identification includes the name of the agency and the item number, the goods or services provided, and the amount of outstanding obligation.
