Official description

Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes. Requires the State agency to confirm, reject, or identify a claim under the Court of Claims Act that is a lapsed appropriation and valued at less than $2,500 within 60 days after being notified in writing of the claim by the Attorney General. Provides that, if the State agency (instead of the court) determines that it is unable to process a claim under the Act because the bill or invoice contains a defect, the State agency (instead of the court) must notify the vendor and the Attorney General (rather than the vendor only) in writing of the defect no later than 60 calendar days after receiving notice of the claim from the Attorney General's Office (rather 45 days after the bill or invoice was first submitted). Further provides that, for disapproved portions for the claim, the Attorney General (rather than the court) must allow vendors to submit documentation to the Attorney General's Office showing amendments and cured defects (rather than submit documentation to amend and cure defects). Requires a State agency to confirm, reject, or identify a defect within a claim for all other claims arising under the Act that are from lapsed appropriations that are equal to or more than $2,500. Amends the State Prompt Payment Act. Provides that a State agency shall review each bill or invoice within 30 calendar days after its receipt (currently, in a timely manner). Provides that, when a State official or agency responsible for administering a contract receives a bill or invoice from a contractor, that State official or agency shall confirm the date on which the bill or invoice was received within 15 business days of receipt and shall transmit any approved amount to the Comptroller within 30 calendar days of receipt. Amends the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act. Provides that the advice and technical assistance provided to State grant-making agencies by the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall include an explanation of how to determine if the awardee is eligible for advance payments, reimbursement, or working capital advances. Provides that each State grant-making agency shall specify in each grant agreement whether the applicable payment methodology is advance payment, reimbursement, or working capital advance. Provides that, if advance payment is not the applicable payment methodology, the grant agreement will specify why an alternative payment methodology applies. Sets forth deadlines by which the State grant-making agency shall issue grant agreements after issuing a Notice of State-Issued Award. Makes other changes. Effective July 1, 2027.
