§6719 Reports

Summary

Before June 2 of each year prior to 2002, the Secretary had to personally report to Congress about the Local Government Fiscal Assistance Fund and how this law was carried out. The report had to cover the fund’s status for the prior fiscal year and give a detailed review of actions to follow sections 6711 through 6715 (including any noncompliance and pending complaints), how local governments complied, how payments were distributed, and major problems with recommendations for fixes. At the end of each fiscal year, any local government that received a payment under this law must send a report to the Secretary in the form and at the time the Secretary requires. The report must be open for public inspection and must state the amounts and purposes of funds appropriated, expended, or obligated; how the funds relate to the government’s budget items; and any differences between planned and actual use. The Secretary must give a copy of each report to the chief executive officer of the State in the form the Secretary prescribes.
