MODERATE
This bill enacts a new reporting requirement for cities receiving grants from the municipal infrastructure fund. Cities with at least 1,000 residents must submit annual reports to the state treasurer detailing how grant funds were used for infrastructure projects. The state treasurer must make these reports public and can impose penalties for non-compliance or misuse of funds.
Scope change
New reporting requirement applies to cities with populations of 1,000 or more that receive grants from the municipal infrastructure fund, starting in 2022.
REQUIREMENT

Cities with at least 1,000 residents receiving municipal infrastructure fund grants must submit annual reports by November 30th of each even-numbered year detailing funding received and spent, plus descriptions of completed infrastructure projects.

ENFORCEMENT

Cities failing to submit timely or properly formatted reports lose eligibility for grants for two years from the due date. Misuse of funds identified in audits results in reduction of future grants by the amount spent inconsistently with requirements.

State treasurer must make all submitted reports publicly available on the state treasurer's website.

TIMELINE

State treasurer must notify cities of reporting requirements by November 1st of each even-numbered year starting in 2022. May grant up to 15-day extensions upon request.
