Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require state agencies that accepts federal money, including institutions of higher education, to submit a report to the Comptroller detailing the usage of the federal funds. The Comptroller would adopt the form to be used for making the report. The report would be provided to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Speaker, and each member of the Legislature.
Methodology
It is assumed the Comptroller would require 1.0 Program Specialists IV FTE to coordinate with state agencies regarding incoming federal funds. The additional FTE would monitor federal grants, and differentiate and report on federal funds. Total personnel costs would be $89,562 per fiscal year.
Technology
It is assumed the Comptroller would require 4,800 programming hours to develop a database and procure software to support the IT requirements. Administrative costs include $720,000 in fiscal year 2026 for one-time contracted IT services and recurring annual cost of $55,438.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
