Bill > HB150

This bill establishes a comprehensive state grant database to be managed by the Secretary of State, which will serve as a centralized resource for all grant opportunities in Kentucky. The legislation defines key terms like "agency" (any state or local government unit) and "grant" (money, equipment, material, or services available from an agency), and requires all state and local agencies to report their grant opportunities quarterly to the Finance and Administration Cabinet beginning December 1, 2025. The database will provide detailed information about each grant, including its title, authorizing statute, posting date, application deadline, eligibility criteria, available funding amounts, contact information, and other relevant details. The primary goals are to make state and local grants easily accessible to individuals and entities in Kentucky and to clearly communicate grant requirements. Additionally, the bill mandates that each county and area development district must display a prominent link to this grant database on their website, ensuring widespread visibility and access to grant information.
