The proposed bill amends section 35-113.01 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning the handling of federal funds by state entities. The bill simplifies the language and removes unnecessary commas for clarity. It mandates that all state agencies, boards, commissions, and departments must submit to the Department of Administration not only copies of all agreements and contracts but also applications and requests for federal funds. Additionally, when seeking federal funds, these entities must provide a statement of purpose for the project or program, the source and amount of funds, and any conditions attached to the funding. The requirement for a summary of this information at the director's discretion has been removed, as has the requirement for entities to forward an acknowledgment to the Department of Administration upon receipt of federal funds.
