What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, with exceptions, the governor is authorized to receive and

direct the expenditure of all federal funds received by the state. This bill increases

the legislature's role in approving the expenditure of federal funds that are received

by the state between the effective date of this bill and June 30, 2022, that relate to

COVID-19 activities. Under the bill, as soon as practical after the receipt of any

federal funds related to COVID-19 that are made available to the state, the governor

must submit to the Joint Committee on Finance for a 14-day passive review a plan

or plans for the expenditure of the funds.
