Requiring certain disclosures from private entities that receive state funding.
HB 2059 requires private organizations receiving state grants (like nonprofits, corporations, or associations) to publicly disclose specific financial and operational details within five business days of receiving funding. This includes employee wages, board member compensation, political contributions made over the last four election cycles, lobbyist contracts, and a detailed spending report for the grant money. State agencies must verify compliance, and noncompliant entities face losing the grant funds and must repay the full amount. The bill applies broadly to all state and local agencies awarding grants but excludes routine procurement of goods or services.
