Summary

The Citizen and State Accountability Act obligates any state or local agency seeking a grant over $1 million to provide a detailed cost‑benefit analysis to the governor and obtain written approval before submitting the application. For grants of $1 million or less, the governor may prohibit the agency from applying or from accepting the grant. The bill also creates reporting duties and repeals any laws that conflict with these new requirements.
