The bill outlines the quarterly report submitted by the Comptroller of the Commonwealth detailing the status of federal funds applied for, received, and expended by various agencies for the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2026. The report includes information on pending federal grants, such as the State Forest Action Plan Implementation Funding and the De-escalation and Crisis Response Training Program, with a total of $62,982,024.65 in pending grants. Additionally, the report highlights new federal grants received and expended, totaling $13,980,874.69, which includes funding for programs like the Building Ongoing Outcomes in Student Tutoring (BOOST) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.

New legal language has been inserted to clarify that the report does not reflect grants that were rejected, and it provides a detailed list of federal grants applied for and received, including their respective amounts and statuses. The report serves to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of federal funds by state agencies, as mandated by M.G.L. Chapter 29, Section 6B.
