What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law permits the governor, as well as other executive branch agencies,

to accept federal funds on behalf of the state and its political subdivisions. This bill

provides that no moneys made available to, and accepted by, the state from the

federal government, the expenditure of which may increase employment in this

state, may be returned to the federal government without the approval of the

legislature by law.
