An act relating to requirements for State-funded grants

This bill requires the Secretary of Administration to create standard, accessible grant application and reporting forms for all state-funded grants to municipalities, nonprofits, businesses, and individuals. It also mandates the development of a statewide database listing all state grant programs available to municipalities, funded with $35,000 in fiscal year 2024. The legislation establishes a uniform approval process for higher indirect cost rates for nonprofit corporations and requires regular progress reports to state committees. These changes aim to simplify grant processes and improve transparency for entities seeking state funding.
