AI Summary

This bill revises procedures for the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, a legislative body that reviews state finances, by clarifying when state agencies and departments must notify the committee about receiving federal aid. Specifically, it allows the committee to issue notice that a hearing will not be held, or to hold a hearing to review the application or acceptance of federal aid even if the amount is less than $25 million, which was previously a threshold for mandatory review.
