Summary

The bill changes Utah’s rules for accepting new federal funds by increasing the amount that can be approved without extra legislative review from $1 million to $5 million per year. It requires executive, judicial and education agencies to get approval from the governor, the Judicial Council, or the State Board of Education, and to report approved requests to legislative bodies. For larger, high‑value grants, the bill adds a review by the Executive Appropriations Committee, final legislative approval, and creates oversight committees for each approved high‑value request.
