Legislative Bill 36 proposes the establishment of a federal funding inventory requirement for state agencies in Nebraska. The bill defines "federal receipts" as any financial assistance received from the U.S. government that must be reported in the budget request and reporting system of the Department of Administrative Services. It prohibits state employees and agencies from entering into agreements that impose maintenance-of-effort requirements without prior consent from the Legislature.

Under this bill, all state agencies that receive appropriations from the Legislature must submit a federal funding inventory to the Director of Administrative Services by September 15 of each even-numbered year. This inventory will include details such as the total value of federal receipts, the amount appropriated by the Legislature, the percentage of the agency's budget constituted by federal funds, and any agreements with federal entities that impose obligations on the state. Additionally, agencies must provide an operating plan for potential reductions in federal receipts, a description of promised actions to receive funding, the statutory objectives being met, and a list of federal receipts with foreseeable end dates.
