Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Annual certification and compliance checks

Beginning July 1, 2026, each agency must review, update, and certify its agreement reports by January 1 each year, signed by the agency head or an authorized representative. The State Controller monitors compliance and sends written notice if an agency misses reporting. An agency has 30 days to fix it or can set a firm date within 60 days of the notice. The Controller lists agencies that did not cure and sends that report to the Legislative Services Office by January 5. Agencies that remain noncompliant may face budget holdbacks next fiscal year, at the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee’s discretion, with legislative approval and the governor’s final approval.

New reporting rules for state agreements

Beginning July 1, 2026, state officers and agencies must report any signed MOU, MOA, or agreement, including sub-agreements, within 10 business days through the State Controller’s portal. Reports must show the title, execution date and end date (if any), participants, a short purpose, the agency contact (name, email, phone), any amendments, and the dollar details (total cost, funding sources, and payment schedule, if applicable). Agencies update the original record for amendments and change the end date if the term is extended. Some items are exempt: most employee agreements (not settlements), routine invoices and purchase orders, student housing and financial aid agreements, and short-term template agreements. The Department of Administration reports statewide contracts it signs; agencies report any sub-agreements they sign. These rules apply regardless of funding source.

Public list and reporting guidance

Beginning July 1, 2026, the State Controller keeps a public, centralized list of reported agreements, following public records exemptions. The list shows at least the required fields: title, dates, participants, purpose, contact, amendments, and monetary value. The Controller may issue and update reporting guidance and must publish it where the list is posted.
