House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative McMakin proposes amendments to Joint Rule No. 17 of the Joint Rules of the Senate and House of Representatives, specifically focusing on the requirements for the nongovernmental entity funding request form. The resolution aims to enhance transparency and accountability by specifying the information that must be included in the funding request. Key amendments include the requirement for nonprofit corporations to specify their tax exemption status under the Internal Revenue Code, the need for a detailed comprehensive budget that outlines all anticipated expenditures, and the submission of Form 990 from the last three years, if applicable.
Additionally, the resolution retains existing requirements while removing the obligation to provide salary information in the budget. The changes are designed to ensure that entities seeking funding provide comprehensive and relevant information, thereby facilitating better oversight of state funds allocated to nongovernmental organizations. Overall, the resolution seeks to streamline the funding request process while ensuring that necessary financial disclosures are made to promote responsible use of public resources.
