The bill amends the existing law regarding the powers and duties of the Department of Management and Budget by adding a new section, 364a, which outlines the requirements for public disclosure forms related to legislatively directed spending items. The new section specifies the information that must be included in the disclosure form, such as the names of sponsoring and cosponsoring legislators, the recipient's details, the requested amount, the purpose of the spending item, and any previous funding received by the recipient. Additionally, for nonprofit corporations to qualify for funding, they must meet specific criteria regarding their operational history and governance.

The bill also includes definitions for key terms such as "immediate family member," "legislatively directed spending item," "legislator," "nonprofit corporation," and "staff member." The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, but its implementation is contingent upon the enactment of Senate Bill No. 596 from the 103rd Legislature. The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the allocation of taxpayer money for legislatively directed spending.
