Bill > ABX110

This bill provides guidelines for nonprofit organizations that contract with state agencies during states of emergency or war emergencies. It allows these nonprofits to request modifications to how they deliver services, as long as the contract's core purpose remains intact and the budget is not exceeded without mutual agreement. If approved, the nonprofit and state agency must create a written addendum to the contract detailing the changes. The bill requires nonprofits to notify state agencies about any program closures or service impacts, specifying the reason and extent of the disruption. Importantly, the legislation mandates that nonprofits thoroughly document all expenditures related to closed programs, including provisions for continuing to pay hourly employees and maintaining fixed costs. The bill also requires state agencies to ensure continued funding for canceled or reduced services. Additionally, the bill provides a mechanism for nonprofits to request service and funding flexibility even during disruptions that do not officially constitute a state of emergency, giving state agencies discretion to approve such requests if they determine the circumstances are reasonable. This legislation aims to provide nonprofits with more operational flexibility and financial stability during challenging circumstances while maintaining accountability and transparency.
