Utah HB0342 amends the federal grant process by increasing approval thresholds for new federal funds requests and establishing legislative oversight.

Utah HB0342 modifies the federal grant process by raising the approval thresholds for new federal funds requests. For high-dollar requests, agencies must submit summaries to the governor, Judicial Council, or State Board of Education for approval before formally submitting the request to the federal government. The Legislature must also approve these requests within a specified timeframe. The bill defines "high impact federal funds requests" as those exceeding $25 million annually and requiring additional state employees.
