AN ACT relating to branch budget bills.

HB 673 is a technical correction to Kentucky law (KRS 48.160) governing how state budget branches request matching funds for federal programs. It updates the language to clarify that state matching funds cannot be used for certain federal block grants unless applications comply with federal/state laws and KRS 45.353 standards. The bill directly affects state budget units that submit funding requests to match anticipated federal dollars. This is a minor wording adjustment to existing budget rules, not a policy change, and does not alter how matching funds are actually allocated or utilized.
