Bill > HF98

This bill requires all federal funds received by the state of Minnesota for COVID-19 purposes between the effective date of the act and June 30, 2021, to be spent only pursuant to a direct appropriation by law, rather than being automatically appropriated as allowed under existing statutes. This means the state legislature would need to pass a law to approve the spending of these federal COVID-19 funds, rather than the funds being automatically available for the executive branch to use without further legislative approval.
