What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law under the statutes, the governor has authority to accept federal moneys on behalf of the state and to allocate federal moneys without the approval or participation of the legislature. This constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2021 legislature on first consideration, prohibits the legislature from delegating its sole power to determine how federal moneys may be spent. The amendment further provides that no executive branch official or department may make an initial allocation of federal moneys without the approval of a joint committee of the legislature designated by legislative rule.
A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it becomes effective.
