noncustodial federal monies; appropriation

HB 2814 establishes rules for Arizona state agencies handling certain federal funds called "noncustodial federal monies," which include block grants and other funds where Arizona has broad spending flexibility (like health or housing programs). The bill requires agencies to track these funds in separate accounts and mandates that the legislature must specify how the funds can be used when appropriating them. If actual funds received differ from the appropriation amount, the budget must adjust proportionally - reducing spending if funds are less, or crediting excess to the agency if funds exceed the appropriation. This bill directly affects state agencies managing federal programs, ensuring clearer accountability without changing how funds are spent.
