AI Summary
This bill revises procedures for the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, a legislative body that oversees state finances, by clarifying when state agencies must notify the committee about accepting federal aid. Specifically, it allows the committee to issue notice that a hearing will not be held for proposed federal aid acceptance, or to hold a hearing to review applications or acceptances of federal aid even if the amount is less than $25 million, which was previously a threshold for mandatory review. The bill also adjusts the timeline for committee review and clarifies exemptions for certain types of federal funding, such as annual installments of multi-year grants and federal formula grant programs for transportation, and moves the deadline for a specific report from February 1st to February 15th.
