The resolution HCR2015 proposes to authorize the Arizona Legislature to appropriate noncustodial federal funds, contingent upon voter approval. Currently, the state only appropriates a limited amount of federal funds, primarily through block grants and specific programs. The resolution defines noncustodial federal monies as those that allow the state discretion in their use, such as block grants and general revenue sharing, while excluding certain funds like research grants awarded to universities and funds for emergency services.

If approved, the resolution would require budget units receiving these funds to maintain separate accounts for proper accounting and auditing. It also stipulates that the Legislature must specify the intended use of these funds in appropriations and allows for lump-sum appropriations for unanticipated federal funds when the Legislature is not in session. The resolution aims to enhance the state's ability to manage federal funds effectively while ensuring compliance with both state and federal laws.
